Video: Top 10 Games of the Week Eight Top 25 teams are featured in this week's slate.
No. 1 St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) all but ensured its spot as the best team in the country beating No. 8 De La Salle (Concord, Calif.) in the CIF Open Division championship. They are now 3-0 against the Spartans all-time and won their third state title since 2013.
The only other Top 25 matchup this week was in Georgia in the 7A championship between No. 9 Lowndes (Valdosta) and No. 18 Marietta. The Blue Devils won their first state title since 1967 beating the Vikings 17-9.
No. 5 St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) won its first state title since 2016 beating Edgewater (Orlando, Fla.) 28-23 to win 11th Florida championship in school history.
No. 22 Northwestern (Miami) beat Jones (Orlando) 34-17 to win its third consecutive state championship. The first two came in 6A and this one was in 5A. The Bulls made the sweep complete for Miami as they went 4-for-4 in the state championships. Booker T. Washington, Miami Central and Columbus all won earlier this week.
The other three ranked teams in action are all in Texas.
No. 3 Duncanville beat Rockwall 56-14 to advance to the 6A Division 1 championship for the second consecutive year. The Panthers were dealt unfortunate news though as 2020 Texas commit Ja'Quinden Jackson got hurt in the first half and returned to the sideline to start the second half on crutches.
It is unlikely he plays next week against No. 6 North Shore (Houston). The Mustangs beat Lake Travis (Austin) in the other semifinal, 49-38.
