LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Katy kept up its winning ways and benefitted from Los Alamitos’ first loss of the season to take over the No. 1 spot in the latest USA Today Sports/NFCA High School Super 25 poll.

The (23-1) Tigers routed Seven Lakes, 12-1, on Friday to run its win streak to 13 straight. They have outscored their last seven opponents, 86-7, including a home-and-away sweep of Seven Lakes by a combined 25-5 margin.

Los Alamitos (17-1), meanwhile, dropped to 10th in the rankings despite four straight wins since being edged 3-2 by unranked Mater Dei Catholic last Thursday. The Griffins had been the top team the past eight weeks, including the last two rankings of 2017.

Keller (24-1-1) won twice to take over the No. 2 position, while unbeaten schools Hurricane (8-0), Johnson (24-0), Neshoba Central (21-0), Bishop O’Connell (11-0) and North Davidson (16-0) all jumped ahead of teams that lost last week.

Fellow California schools Orange Lutheran (18-2) and Norco (15-2) joined Los Alamitos in the middle of the pack of this week’s rankings at No. 11 and 12, respectively, following their second losses. Three wins each, meanwhile, advanced Hamilton (24-1) to eighth and Eagle (15-0-1) to ninth.

New Jersey’s Donovan Catholic (5-0) makes the rankings for the first time this season at No. 21 after an unbeaten start, and fellow unbeaten East Carter (11-0) debuts at 23rd, just ahead of the other poll newcomer Chiles (17-1). Immaculate Heart Academy, Land O’ Lakes and Pembroke Pines dropped out this week.
