Week 4 is int eh book and it was the quietest weekend of the season so far. Part of that has to do with Florida not being able to play games. There was only one match up of ranked teams and Bishop Gorman showed the fight of a champion in a big win over De La Salle. The win moves the Gaels back up to #12 in the rankings. The Spartans fall to #20 after the loss. The other two most impressive wins of the weekend were by Mater Dei and Ben Davis. The Monarchs destroyed a good Bergen Catholic team 62-14 while the Giants took care of Warren Central 45-16. Mater Dei of course stays at #1 while the Giants shoot into the Top 20 at #18. Mission Viejo moves into the rankings this week coming off their 12-7 win over Long Beach Poly. The Diablos are known more for their offense but it was the defense that won this this game by intercepting Florida Gator commit Matt Corral 4 times.
This week’s lineup of games is one of the best of the year. #4 Miami Central heads to #3 IMG and #5 St. John Bosco heads to #16 St. John’s.
