USA TODAY Sports Super 25 recap: Wild weekend for Texas playoffs; St. John Bosco dominates in Cali

What a weekend!

There’s no other way to describe it (without making it a novel), as multiple teams in the Super 25 rankings lost, including a trio of Texas teams —Katy, Guyer and Westlake.

Carrollton’s rush toward Georgia football dominance hit a wall, too, with Mill Creek making its case for Peach State supremacy with a 70-35 blowout win.

And out west, it was Basha with a statement win in Arizona over a tough Saguaro team. While St. John Bosco closed any arguments for its place in the 2022 hierarchy, throttling Serra (San Mateo) 45-0.
