THREE AND OUT

The top three storylines, news, notes and milestones from the week that was in high school football.

More greatness for the Gaels

Top-ranked Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) extended the nation’s fourth-longest streak – among 11-man teams – to 44 games with a 42-0 shutout of Bonanza. It’s also the Gaels’ 78^th consecutive win against Nevada opponents. Next up for Bishop Gorman is next week’s home showdown versus preseason No. 1 and now 14^th-ranked St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.).

Pair of unbeaten squads enter Top 25

The Woodlands (Texas) and former Prep Poll champion John Curtis Christian (River Ridge, La.) joined the Top 25 for the first time this season.

Despite having last week off, The Woodlands moved into the national rankings at No. 22. Earlier this month, the Highlanders (4-0) knocked off defending Prep Poll champion Katy and last year’s Texas 5A/I titlist George Ranch (Richmond) by a combined margin of 51 points.

John Curtis Christian – which finished No. 1 in the 2012 Prep Poll – is back in the national rankings after a 4-0 start. The Patriots handled state-ranked Brother Martin (New Orleans), 26-9, in front of 10,000 fans and a national television audience.

For the record

Senior Tim Tawa of regionally ranked West Linn (Ore.) broke his state’s all-time record for touchdown passes. Tawa threw for six touchdowns in a 50-7 rout of Tualatin, pushing his career total to 107. … Rose (Greenville, N.C.) topped city rival Conley, 77-67, in a game that set a new state record for total points scored. Despite his team being on the losing side, Conley junior quarterback Holton Ahlers accounted for another state record with nine total touchdowns. … Senior Nathaniel Holcomb of Puyallup (Wash.) set a new Washington 11-man record when he threw 10 touchdowns passes in a 77-60 win against South Kitsap (Port Orchard). …Tyler Nichelson of Ashland-Greenwood HS (Ashland, Neb.) established a new Nebraska 11-man record by rushing for 474 yards in a 41-27 victory over Milford-Dorchester (Milford).

About the PrepNation National Prep Poll

The PrepNation National Prep Poll is a continuation of World Feature Syndicate’s National Prep Poll, which was published and distributed to the Associated Press and other news organizations from 1987 to 2015.

The National Prep Poll is second only to the USA Today Super 25 as the longest continually published weekly high school rankings. While a product of World Features Syndicate (1987-2015), the National Prep Poll was the only high school poll distributed to newspapers and websites around the United States by the Associated Press.

Before authoring rankings for Student Sports and ESPN, National High School Sports Hall of Fame journalist Doug Huff compiled the National Prep Poll rankings from 1987 until 1999. Current author Jamie DeMoney has compiled the poll since the start of the 1999 basketball season to the present.

Among the criteria used in the weekly compilation of the National Prep Poll rankings are strength of schedule, the ability to accomplish the ultimate goal on a team's schedule (i.e. winning a championship), impact players and performers, a team's coaching and recent tradition.
