Man,what a week where the big dogs mostly barked loud and bit hard. The Top 10 straight-up rolled, with zero stumbles. #1 St. John Bosco demolished JSerra 70-21 like it was a scrimmage, and #8 De La Salle dominated Cathedral Catholic 35-14 in a game that felt even more lopsided than the scoreboard showed. The DLS defense held CC to 26pts below their season average entering the game which is what they are doing to everyone.

Outin the desert, #29 Liberty (AZ) dropped a nuclear 71-0 bomb on Mountain Ridge, mercy rule por favor. Meanwhile, the blowout train kept chugging: #12 St. Thomas Aquinas steamrolled Hollywood Hills 63-0, and #24 Bixby turned Moore into mincemeat with an 81-6 thrashing. These elites aren't playing around.

Chaos lurked lower down. The headline grabber? #40 Baylor (TN) went across town into their heated rivals stadium stunning #14 McCallie 38-35 in a thriller. Superstar Junior Running Back DGG (David Gabriel-Georges) went off for 280yds and 3 TD’s on only 25 carries (11.2ypc). McCallie is the only Top 25 squad to bite the dust, and it was to another ranked team. Overall, just four Top 50 teams tasted defeat, and three of those fell to fellow rankers: #26 Central (FL) got edged 30-21 by #32 Northwestern in that classic Miami showdown, #46 Orange Lutheran put up a fight but #4 Mater Dei proved too much in the end winning 25-10, and #16 Santa Margarita grinded out a 17-7 W over Servite to stay alive in the Trinity League wars. #38 Folsom trailed 7-9 at half to rival Oak Ridge but they got hot with a 21-0 2nd half flex to win 28-9.

The lone outlier? #45 Lone Peak (UT) dropping a heartbreaker in double OT to unranked but still elite Skyridge 34-37. Skyridge was hanging in the Top 100 last week (only losses are to #13 Corner Canyon and #31 Cherry Creek) so not exactly a scrub squad.

Overall less of a shakeup and more of a ripple in the rankings.

Bottom line: Stability at the peak, but those mid-tier battles are getting juicy! Keeping HSFB as wild and addictive as ever. Who impressed? Who disappointed? Who's crashing the party next? Best games next week in your area? Drop ‘em in the comments!
