Michael O’Brien’s Super 25 high school football rankings for April 4, 2021

Wheaton North players celebrate their 17-14 victory over Wheaton Warrenville South. | Allen Cunningham/For the Sun-Times

New additions to the Super 25

Wheaton North: This was an easy call. The Falcons are unbeaten and take the spot of crosstown rival Wheaton Warrenville South after knocking them off on Saturday.

Lake Forest: The Scouts are unbeaten with wins against Lake Zurich, Libertyville and Mundelein.

Phillips: Clearly a bit rusty in the season opener, but the potential is there.

Dropping out

Prairie Ridge (2-1): When in doubt I rank Fox Valley teams. The top tier of the conference is so good. But the upset loss to Crystal Lake Central knocks the Wolves out for now.

Wheaton Warrenville South (2-1): This is another team that could play its way back in over the next couple of weeks.

Fremd (2-1): The Vikings fall out after losing to Palatine.
