There’s still a lot of chatter about whether Allen (Texas) should be ahead of Booker T. Washington (Florida) in the High School Football America Top 25 presented by The Debris Inhibitor Razur.
A couple of interesting numbers – 1) both teams
have outscored their opponents by an average of 30 points a game 2)
Allen’s opponents (coming into this week’s games) have won 65% of their
games, while Booker T’s opponents have won 63% of their games.
From my perspective it is hard to separate the
two, but again this week, based on strength of schedule, the Eagles hold
a razor’s edge lead over the Tornadoes.
This Saturday’s Garden State showdown between #9 St. Joseph Regional (New Jersey) and Paramus Catholic lost a little bit of luster when then #16 PC lost 20-13 to Don Bosco Prep this past weekend. Paramus Catholic, which dropped out of our national rankings, was the only Top 25 team to lose last week.
There will be a Top 25 showdown when #15 Manatee (Florida) squares-off with in-state rival #21 University.
Archbishop Moeller of Ohio is the only new team in this week's poll. The Crusaders enter at #23.
