LOUISVILLE, Ky. —Katy kept rolling and remained in the No. 1 spot in the USA Today Sports/NFCA High School Super 25 poll for a second consecutive week.
The (28-1) Tigers routed Morton Ranch and Tompkins by a combined score of 25-5 and have now won 18 straight. Next up is a home game Friday against Mayde Creek.
Fellow Texas school Keller (25-2-1) didn’t fare as well, losing a 12-11 road slugfest at Timber Creek, following a lopsided 15-0 victory over Weatherford to fall from second to No. 8, while Hurricane (11-0), Johnson (26-0) and Neshoba Central (25-0) all kept winning to move up one place apiece and round out the first four.
Three losses by Bishop O’Connell (13-3) and two by North Davidson (19-2) dropped those teams out of the sixth and seventh spots they held last week. That allowed the eight teams behind them to move up. Undefeated poll newcomer Center Grove (11-0) jumps into the mix this week at No. 14.
The other three teams making their 2018 poll debut are No. 18 Freedom (10-0), No. 19 Barrington (10-0) and No. 22 Marist (8-1). Meanwhile, No. 25 Oakleaf (23-2) returns to the rankings for the first time since week three.
State rankings submitted by NFCA member coaches are used to compile the USA Today Sports/NFCA High School Super 25.
