After another week in the books there is starting to be a little clarity in the rankings. As we were just beginning to question as to if Dematha deserved to keep the #1 ranking, partly because the season win over Miami Central doesn’t look as impressive, they go on the road and destroy the 2nd best team in Maryland 40-0. That is how you quiet all the doubters and make a statement. That being said all the teams in the Top 10 continue to roll and there are a lot of games left to be played. Two teams drop out of the rankings after losses this week which opened the way for two teams from Chandler, Arizona to make their debuts. Chandler and Hamilton are clearly the two best teams in AZ and both seem to be rolling along toward their matchup later this year. Chandler does have an early season loss at Bishop Gorman (NV) but that is hardly a reason for them not to be ranked. St. Joseph Regional (NJ) actually moves up this week coming off a loss to IMG Academy (FL). IMG is looking like the preseason #1 team like we had them and there is no shame going on the road and losing 24-12 to them. Follow us @PrepForce1 to stay on top of the rankings throughout the year.
