THREE AND OUT

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

Team of the Week

Chandler (Ariz.) avenged its only in-state loss of the season with a convincing 36-21 win over then-No. 11 Mountain Pointe (Phoenix) for the Class 6A state championship. It was the Wolves' second crown in three seasons. Chandler ended the year with 10 consecutive wins after it was crushed, 52-7, by Mountain Pointe on Sept. 8 and lost by a touchdown to No. 13 Centennial (Corona, Calif.) two weeks earlier.

Worth Noting

Cass Tech (Detroit) vaulted seven spots to No. 10 in this week’s rankings after pounding regionally ranked Detroit Catholic Central (Novi, Mich.), 49-20, for the Division 1 state title. … No. 22 Saguaro (Scottsdale, Ariz.) returned to the Top 25 after clobbering Catalina Foothills (Tucson), 42-14, in the 4A state championship. It’s the Sabercats’ fourth state championship in as many seasons. … Derrick Jones of Lee (Jacksonville, Fla.) accounted for 685 of his team’s 740 yards in a thrilling 61-59 Class 7A playoff victory against Bartram Trail (St. John’s). Jones accounted for nine touchdowns – including a game-winning touchdown pass with less than a minute left in the game. … Norwich Free Academy (Conn.) shut out New London (Conn.), 13-0, on Thanksgiving Day in high school football’s oldest current rivalry. NFA now holds a 77-67-11 all-time edge since the teams met for the first time in 1875.

For the Record

Lamar (Mo.) set a state record by winning its sixth consecutive state championship. The Tigers stopped then-unbeaten Trinity Catholic (St. Louis), 26-18, in the Class 2 state final. … Senior Jaylin Bradley of regionally ranked Bellevue West (Neb.) finished the year with a state-record 50 rushing touchdowns. Bradley ran for five scores in a dominant 41-6 win over then-regionally ranked Omaha North for the Class A state championship.

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.
