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

Mater Dei moves up
One of the minor changes to this week’s Top 25 was Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) moving up one spot from No. 4 to No. 3. The Monarchs opened Trinity League competition with a jaw-dropping 62-14 rout of state-ranked Santa Margarita (Rancho Santa Margarita). By halftime, Mater Dei was already leading 56-0 and super sophomore quarterback J.T Daniels had seven touchdowns.  

Matthew takes a toll
Hurricane Matthew’s weekend assault on the Southeastern coast resulted in 10 games involving ranked teams being postponed or outright cancelled. Most notably was No. 2 IMG Academy nixing a scheduled home game against Southern Lab (Baton Rouge, La.). The Ascenders haven’t seen action since Sept. 23, and with no state playoffs on the horizon, are scheduled for a maximum of only 11 games this season.

For the record
For the second time in three weeks, Conley (Greenville) was a participant in the highest-scoring game in North Carolina history. The Vikings lost to crosstown rival Rose, 77-67, on Sept. 23 to set the old record. It was broken Thursday night – which was Conley’s next game following a bye -- when they blistered Aycock (Pikeville), 83-68. … Joe Benedict of Sandy Creek set the New York single-game rushing record, totaling 584 yards in a 53-34 win against Immaculate Heart Central (Watertown).

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.

About PrepNation.com
PrepNation.com was originally launched August 1, 2001 by Jamie DeMoney for the purpose of creating a permanent online home for the National Prep Poll football and boys basketball rankings.
