Video: K.J. Sails monster punt returnBishop Gorman handled business yet again to remain atop this week's Composite Rankings, with two California schools, St. John Bosco and Corona Centennial, nipping at its heels.
Male (Louisville, Ky.) moved up this week, while Wayne (Huber Heights, Ohio) and Center Grove (Greenwood, Ind.) entered the fray.
In order to be
considered for these rankings, a team must be ranked in two national
polls. If it does not land in all four, the team will be given a 40 to
weight into its average. We chose for national polls that have produced
rankings for at least five years. The four polls include the
MaxPreps Xcellent 25 National Football Rankings presented by the Army National Guard, the
MaxPreps Computer Rankings,
USA Today Super 25 Expert Rankings and
PrepNation's National Prep Poll.
