The top two teams in the Top 25 — St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) and Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) — looked the part to start the 2018 season.

The Braves opened their brand new $7.2 million stadium with a dominant 49-0 win over Timpview (Utah). The defense was lights out, allowing 113 total yards, and the offense showed a well-balanced attack. DJ Uiagalelei played just over a half throwing for 200-plus yards and three scores. George Holani, Keith Savageand Nate Jones combined for 233 yards rushing and three scores.

The Monarchs extended their winning streak to 16 with a 42-14 win over Bishop Amat (La Puente, Calif.). Sean Dollars, a 2019 Oregon commit, rushed for three scores in his Mater Dei debut and combined with Shakobe Harper for 281 yards rushing and four touchdowns. Up next for the defending national champs is a huge road test in Las Vegas against No. 12 Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas).

The three big movers in this week’s Xcellent 25 National High School Football Rankings presented by the Army National Guard were St. Louis (Honolulu), Centennial (Corona, Calif.) and De La Salle (Concord, Calif.).

• St. Louis cruised to a dominant 47-7 win over Narbonne (Harbor City, Calif.) and has outscored the opposition 116-13 through their first two games. The Crusaders moved up two spots this week to No. 10.

• Corona Centennial jumped six spots to No. 11 after snapping Chandler’s (Ariz.) 11-game winning streak with a 35-13 win. Gary Bryant Jr. had a monster game, finishing the night with 264 yards and three touchdowns.
• De La Salle handed Folsom (Calif.) its first shutout loss since 2004 with a 14-0 win. The Spartans moved up from 18 to 15 and still haven’t dropped a game against a Northern California opponent since 1991. The win was huge for De La Salle as it puts them in the driver’s seat to represent Northern California in the CIF Open Division state championship game in December.

The four new teams to join this week’s Top 25 were Colquitt County (Norman Park, Ga.), Warren Central (Indianapolis), Rome (Ga.) and Duncanville (Texas).

• Colquitt County dealt McEachern (Powder Springs, Ga.) its worst loss since 2007 with a 41-7 win in the Corky Kell Classic. Daijun Edwards finished the night with 162 yards rushing and one score.

• Warren Central beat a very good Center Grove (Greenwood, Ind.) team, 27-15. Romeir Elliott led the way on offense with 135 yards rushing and three touchdowns.

• Rome won its 28th straight game beating a very talented Marietta (Ga.) squad, 51-41, in the Corky Kell Classic. Knox Kadum completed 13-of-19 passes for 218 yards and three scores. Jamoius Griffin, a 2019 North Carolina State commit, balled for 162 yards on the ground to go with four total touchdowns.

• Duncanville still hasn’t played this season, but the Panthers added two big-time players to an already talented team. Marquez Beason, a 4-star Illinois commit, and Zeriah Beason, a Top 300 player from the Class of 2020, transferred from Bishop Dunne (Dallas).
