The Super 25 rankings just got absolutely shredded this weekend, with No. 24 Massillon (Washington, OH) taking a 35-21 punch to the gut from Cornerstone Christian (TX). This wasn’t some minor shake-up either; it was a straight-up loss that’s going to make a lot of pollsters rethink everything come next week. Talk about showing up for a fight only to find you’re on the wrong end of it.
Texas Teams Bring the Heat and the Upsets
While Massillon was reeling, the Lone Star State was busy doing what it does best: delivering some insane high school football. No. 16 North Crowley (Fort Worth, TX) walked into No. 13 Waxahachie (TX) and delivered a dominant 42-17 road win. That’s a statement, plain and simple, and it absolutely sets the stage for a new-look Texas Super 10. You just know that win is going to shake things up locally in a big way. Not to be outdone, No. 17 North Shore (Houston, TX) barely held on against Summer Creek (TX), squeaking by with a 28-27 victory. That’s the kind of game that leaves you breathless, knowing Summer Creek nearly pulled off an even bigger upset. The drama in Texas this week was off the charts!
Dominant Performances Across the Nation
Even with the upsets, some of the top squads across the nation put on a clinic. St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, FL) absolutely demolished McArthur (FL) 48-0, showing everyone why they’re a force. IMG Academy (Bradenton, FL) also crushed it, taking down New Palestine (IN) 49-7. And how about Allen (TX) putting up a ridiculous 70 points against McKinney (TX)? That’s not a typo, seventy points! Other teams like Hough (NC) with a 72-0 win and Trinity (Louisville, KY) dropping 73 on Ballard (KY) showed they mean business. We also gotta give a shout-out to St. John Bosco RB Maliq Allen, who was named Super 25 Playmaker of the Week. And Carrollton (GA) is riding high after a 62-24 win, fueled by their sophomores, who are apparently their “secret weapon.” Meanwhile, Mater Dei (Santa Ana, CA) was up 27-0 at halftime against JSerra Catholic (CA), but they took a tough hit with a defensive back set to miss the rest of the season.
These results are certainly going to shake up the national rankings next week. With plenty of action still to go out West and through the rest of the weekend, get ready to see some major shifts. You know we’ll be watching every single update!
