This is the last week of the regular season for
the 2013 high school football season, so it’s a good time to look back
and see how we did since August 5th when we released our Preseason Top 25.
All-in-all, not too bad with 12 of the original Top 25 still being in the latest rankings. Allen (Texas), our preseason #1 is still at the top of it all. Booker T. Washington (Florida), which began the season #6, is just a hair behind the Eagles. If you take a look at the preseason Top 10, six of the teams are still there – Allen (Pre-Season #1), De La Salle (PS #2), Booker T. Washington (PS #6), Katy (PS #7), Miami Central (PS #8) and St. John Bosco (PS #9).
Here’s a look at how the 13 teams that fell out of the Preseason Top 25 have made out so far:
#3 John Curtis (Louisiana) 6-2
#4 Norcross (Georgia) 7-2
#5 Corona Centennial (California) 7-2
#11 DeMatha (Maryland) 9-1
#12 Paramus Catholic (New Jersey) 6-2
#13 Bishop Gorman (Nevada) 8-2
#14 St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida) 8-1
#15 Long Beach Poly (California) 8-1
#16 Good Counsel (Maryland) 6-4
#17 Ensworth (Tennessee) 8-1
#21 North Allegheny (Pennsylvania) 7-3
#23 Highlands (Kentucky) 9-1
#25 Sandy Creek (Georgia) 8-0-1
As far as the latest poll, only a small change as #16 Ensworth (Tennessee) saw its 29-game win streak come to a close at the hands of Brentwood Academy (Tennessee). Entering the poll at #25 is Southlake Carroll (Texas), which is a perfect 8-0 after a season opening loss to top-ranked Allen.
