One of the most competitive weekends of the 2022 high school football season kicked off this past Friday, and by Saturday night, four teams in the USA TODAY Sports Super 25 rankings had lost.
Westlake (Texas) had its 54-game winning streak snapped by North Shore (Texas), while Guyer (Texas) lost to a surging DeSoto (Texas) team. And Katy (Texas) kept the wild Lone Star State playoffs trend on the rise, losing a close one against Vandergrift (Texas) 38-35.
Down in Georgia, Carrollton allowed 70 points to Mill Creek in its lopsided defeat. While out west, top-ranked St. John Bosco (Calif.) made its final statement of the year, efficiently handling Serra (San Mateo, Calif.) 45-0.
The aftermath created spots for a trio of teams in the latest rankings, with a full slate of championship matchups still ahead this week.
As the final 2022 poll awaits on December 20, here is the latest Super 25.
