USA TODAY Sports Super 25 high school football rankings

Mater Dei (Calif.) and St. John Bosco (Calif.) both continue impressive runs atop the USA TODAY Sports Super 25 rankings, setting up a big-time Trinity League showdown between the two this Friday at Santa Ana Stadium.

Elsewhere around the top 10 gridiron action, St. Frances Academy (Md.) had its hands full on the road in Hawaii, coming back from seven points down in the fourth quarter to stay undefeated in 2022 and locked at the No. 3 spot. And Bishop Gorman kept its shutout streak alive in dominating fashion, defeating Canyon Springs (Nev.) 58-0. 

Outside looking in, it was American Heritage (Fla.) with the week’s most significant win. The Patriots lined up against a Super 25 team for the second time this season, taking on Cardinal Gibbons (Fla.). And, unlike the tough matchup against Chaminade-Madonna (Fla.), the Patriots came out on top with a 21-2 thrashing.

That statement win in the Sunshine State, accompanied by another loss for D.C. power St. John’s, created a shift in the bottom half of the rankings, which includes two new teams making an appearance this week.
