We have a new #1 this week after previous #1 Don Bosco Prep (NJ) lost a tough game to Paramus Catholic (NJ). The win jumps the Paladins all the way up to #3. last year was supposed to be the year for the Paladins with Jabrill Peppers leading the way but this years team looks even better. The loss opened the way for Booker T. Washington to once again become the #1 team in the nation. The defending national champion F5 Tornadoes beat their rival Northwestern last week. Mater Dei (CA), La Salle (OH), and Warren Central (IN) were ranked teams that also lost this week. Mater Dei falls to #21 after a close loss to St. John Bosco. The Monarchs have another tough game this week with previously ranked Servite (CA). The winner of that game will be ranked next week. Clay-Chalkville (AL) and Archbishop Rummell (LA) enter the rankings this week. Check back next week to see the updated rankings.
