Mater Dei (Calif.) came out on top in the highly anticipated St. John Bosco (Calif.) matchup last Friday, solidifying the Monarchs’ No. 1 USA TODAY Sports Super 25 ranking they’ve held since August 30.
The tough loss by the Braves opened the door just enough for St. Frances Academy (Md.) to take over the No. 2 spot, with Florida power Central moving up to No. 3 after an impressive win against in-state foe Northwestern.
However, the week’s big mover was Bishop Gorman (Nev.) — a team that nearly beat Mater Dei in Week 2 and continues to steamroll opponents. The Gaels’ resume has been too impressive to overlook, and for the first time this season, they find themselves in the top 5, just ahead of Bosco.
