Week 13 National Prep Football Poll released

WAUKEE, Iowa -- The Top 25 teams listed in the latest National Prep Poll did not change from Week 12 to Week 13. This is despite previous No. 6 Paramus Catholic (N.J.) suffering its first loss. That dropped the Paladins down to No. 22 in close proximity to fellow Garden State powers No. 18 St. Peter's (Jersey City) and No. 23 Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey). The most significant move up this week belongs to Bingham (South Jordan, Utah). The No. 9 Miners have risen nine spots over the last four polls. Their only loss this season was in overtime at No. 1 Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas).
