NEW State Top 50 FB Ranks (1-25)
After the big win over St. John Bosco, Mater Dei takes over at the top of the state, which is where the Monarchs started this season and ended last season. The rest of the top 11 from last week is unchanged, and we didn’t move up Upland that far after it defeated previous No. 12...
