ESPN RISE

ESPN will release the ESPN RISE FAB 50 national football rankings to start each week of the regular season and playoffs.

One Ohio team dropped out of the top 10 in this week's ESPN RISE FAB 50 national high school football poll, but was quickly replaced by another.

The team that fell -- and fell hard by going all the way out of this week's rankings -- was previous No. 9 Colerain of Cincinnati, which was stunned by Middletown of Ohio 42-39. Another reason why Colerain fell so far is the one win that helped propel the squad so high, which came in Week 1 against St. Xavier of Cincinnati, has diminished greatly in significance due to St. Xavier suffering two additional losses.

Voters immediately jumped Glenville of Cleveland into the No. 9 position in this week's poll. While Colerain's opening win over St. Xavier has become less significant, the opposite scenario applies to Glenville, which opened up with a close win over preseason FAB 50-ranked St. Ignatius of Cleveland. Since then, St. Ignatius has bounced back strongly and is ranked No. 22 in this week's FAB 50.

Colerain was one of three teams to drop out of this week's FAB 50, which created room for newcomers Oceanside (Oceanside, Calif.); Centennial (Peoria, Ariz.) and Good Counsel (Olney, Md.).

ESPN RISE FAB 50

The ESPN RISE FAB 50 rankings were compiled by a panel of ESPN RISE and ESPN.com high school editors, which includes Mark Tennis, Doug Huff, Chris Lawlor, Jon Mahoney, Sheldon Shealer, Ronnie Flores and Paul Muyskens.

1. Trinity (Euless, Texas)
Record: 4-0
Points: 250, five first-place votes
Previous rank: 1

The Trojans scored on seven of eight possessions and cruised past winless Fossil Ridge 45-3. After a string of tough games, Trinity flexed its muscle from the opening gun, outgaining Fossil Ridge 519-145 in total yardage and dominating time of possession. Sophomore Tevin Williams and Nebraska commit Dontrayevous Robinson led the offensive barrage, each rushing for two scores. Undefeated Colleyville Heritage is next for Trinity in a battle for District 5-5A supremacy.

2. Lowndes (Valdosta, Ga.)
Record: 5-0
Points: 245
Previous rank: 2

The Vikings made a statement that they are the top team in the Peach State with a convincing 24-7 home win over FAB 50-ranked Northside of Warner Robins. A week after being named one of the ESPN RISE national players of the week, RB/DB Greg Reid picked up where he left off with 118 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground. The victory extended the Vikings' winning streak to 20 games. It doesn't get any easier this week when Lowndes takes on rival Valdosta Friday in a game that will be seen on ESPNU.

3. St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.)
Record: 3-0
Points: 240
Previous rank: 4

The Raiders opened district play with a 35-7 win over Hollywood Hills. Wide receiver Duron Carter, an Ohio State commit, caught a 4-yard touchdown pass on the opening drive and the Raiders never looked back. Junior running back Giovanni Bernard ran for 210 yards and three scores to pace the Aquinas ground attack. It was a great week for Bernard, who also picked up an offer from the University of Miami. Next on the slate for St. Thomas is a road contest against Cooper City.

4. Gateway (Monroeville, Pa.)
Record: 5-0
Points: 234
Previous rank: 4

It's hard to get press when you play with so many top recruits, but senior running back/defensive back Brian Williams is putting together quite a nice season for himself. A week after returning an interception for a touchdown against Norwin, Williams shined on the offensive side of the ball by rushing for 309 yards and four touchdowns on 19 carries in a 42-0 thumping of Hempfield. The Gators will play Erie McDowell on Friday in the first-ever meeting between the two schools.

5. Byrnes (Duncan, S.C.)
Record: 5-0
Points: 231
Previous rank: 5

One week after breaking the school's career rushing record, Marcus Lattimore rushed for 175 yards and a touchdown to help lead the Rebels to a 38-12 victory over Pahokee (Fla.). The win extends Byrnes' winning streak to 21 games. Byrnes travels to Spartanburg on Friday night.

6. Poly (Long Beach, Calif.)
Record: 3-0
Points: 222
Previous rank: 7

California's top-ranked team faced probably its toughest league opponent in a matchup against Lakewood (which was 4-0 on the field coming in but was 0-4 officially due to forfeits) and came out with a 32-15 victory. The Jackrabbits opened a comfortable 25-0 lead before the Lancers scored twice and cut the deficit to 25-15. However, Poly's Daveon Barner quickly turned the momentum the other way by blazing down the sidelines for an 80-yard touchdown run. Barner also scored on a 2-yard run and on a 36-yard scoring pass from quarterback Morgan Fennell. The win helped set up a major matchup in the Golden State Friday between Poly and FAB 50-ranked St. Bonaventure of Ventura.

7. Armwood (Seffner, Fla.)
Record: 4-0
Points: 221
Previous rank: 8

Shutouts are beginning to be the theme for the Hawks, who posted a 41-0 rout over Tampa Jefferson. The Hawks have now pitched three straight shutouts. Senior Quarterback Mywan Jackson has been lethal this year gashing defenses with his arm and legs. Jackson threw for 205 yards and five scores and also added 110 yards on the ground and a touchdown. On defense, Quinton Brown recorded three interceptions to lead the way. Armwood is home Friday against Tampa Bay Tech.

8. Oscar Smith (Chesapeake, Va.)
Record: 5-0
Points: 216
Previous rank: 9

Oscar Smith routed formerly undefeated Western Branch 48-7 behind the talents of Phillip Sims, Perry Jones and Tim Smith. Sims passed for 200 yards and two touchdowns, Jones rushed for a pair of scores and Smith scored twice -- one time on a run, the other on a punt return. The Tigers' victory leaves them as the lone undefeated squad in the district after knocking off their third straight undefeated opponent. Oscar Smith faces Kings Fork on Friday.

9. Glenville (Cleveland)
Record: 7-0
Points: 208
Previous rank: 11

The Tarblooders scored all 30 points in the first half, including a 23-point second quarter, as Glenville defeated Senate League rival John Marshall 30-6. Quarterback Terrance Owens completed 6 of 12 passes for 74 yards and two scores. Sophomore receiver Shane Wynn landed four passes for 72 yards and a TD. Running back Mordecai Cargill rushed for 99 yards and a touchdown. Glenville tackles rival Collinwood on Thursday.

10. Deerfield Beach (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Record: 4-0
Points: 206
Previous rank: 10

The Bucks returned from their bye week and picked up a tough 22-14 win over Coconut Creek. ESPNU 150 athlete Denard Robinson ran for a touchdown and tossed a 46-yard touchdown pass to junior running back Cassius McDowell. The Bucks' defense also found the end zone when junior linebacker J.D. Foureau recovered a fumble and returned it 25 yards for a score late in the fourth quarter. The Bucks clash with Douglas on Saturday.

11. St. Xavier (Louisville, Ky.)
Record: 5-0
Points: 200
Previous rank: 12

The Tigers left no doubt about the No. 1 ranking in Kentucky with a 30-6 romp over defending state Class 6A champion, and previously unbeaten rival, Trinity before a series record 38,872 fans at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium in Louisville. St. Xavier amassed 360 total yards as four players shared in the scoring. Senior running back Deuce Finch rushed 20 times for 152 yards and a score. Quarterback Matt Brutscher completed 9 of 17 passes for 104 yards and two touchdowns. St. Xavier leads the series 34-30-2. The Tigers visit Butler Friday.

12. Lake Travis (Austin, Texas)
Record: 6-0
Points: 195
Previous rank: 13

Elite 11 quarterback Garrett Gilbert turned Friday night's showdown with Hutto into his own personal highlight show, throwing for a season-best six touchdowns as Lake Travis rolled to a 55-20 win. The Cavaliers needed just 14 first-half snaps to race to a 34-6 lead at the break, as Gilbert teamed up with Cade McCrary for three touchdowns. Gilbert finished the night 13-of-15 for 273 yards, and Lake Travis scored on every possession before he left the game after three quarters. Coach Chad Morris' Cavs face winless Lampasas Friday.

13. Camden County (Kingsland, Ga.)
Record: 5-0
Points: 191
Previous rank: 14

It was another blowout for Camden County, which thumped Beach 50-13. The Wildcats opened with a 36-point outburst and cruised to another lopsided win. Camden will host Groves Friday at Gilman Stadium.

14. South Panola (Batesville, Miss.)
Record: 6-0
Points: 182
Previous rank: 16

With sophomore running back Nicholas Parker carrying the ball 39 times for 168 yards and a pair of 1-yard touchdowns, the Tigers got past Olive Branch 21-13. That runs their consecutive win streak to 81, but it certainly didn't come easy. South Panola looked on its way to a comfortable win, jumping on top 21-3, before Olive Branch scored 10 in the final quarter to make it interesting. The close win should allow the Tigers to focus better on 1-5 Columbus Friday.

15. Lakeland (Lakeland, Fla.)
Record: 5-0
Points: 181
Previous rank: 15

The Dreadnaughts survived a late rally for the second consecutive week and escaped with a 27-21 win over Miami Killian. In their previous game, freshman wide receiver Javares McCoy scored the game-winning touchdown on a 24-yard pass to upend Boyd Anderson of Ft. Lauderdale 27-22. On Friday, McCoy had a 50-yard punt return for a touchdown and senior running back Aaron Truedell added a 23-yard touchdown run. Killian senior Lamar Miller rushed for 152 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 25 carries. The Dreadnaughts go across town to take on Lake Gibson Friday.

16. Plano (Plano, Texas)
Record: 6-0
Points: 175
Previous rank: 17

With star running back Rex Burkhead held in check most of the night, Plano turned to quarterback Carson Meger and the senior came through in the clutch, leading the Wildcats on an 83-yard scoring march for the game-winning touchdown with under two minutes remaining in a wild 38-31 win over previously undefeated Wylie. Burkhead, who had scored nine touchdowns in the prior two contests, finished off the final drive with a 6-yard scoring run, his second of the game, and also the two-point conversion to make it a 7-point lead, but was otherwise bottled up by the Wylie defense, rushing for only 44 yards on 21 carries. Meger picked up the slack, however, hitting 19 of 31 passes for 293 yards and three touchdowns. Wylie rallied from 30-14 down to take a 31-30 lead in the fourth quarter when Nikita Whitlock scored on a 10-yard return of a blocked punt, the second Plano punt that was blocked in the second half. The Wildcats are at Plano West Friday.

17. Carmel (Carmel, Ind.)
Record: 7-0
Points: 171
Previous rank: 18

Senior quarterback Morgan Newton rallied the defending state Class 5A champion Greyhounds from a 10-point deficit to a 31-17 victory over unbeaten rival Warren Central before an estimated 7,000 fans. The University of Kentucky recruit rushed 26 times for 159 yards and a go-ahead fourth-quarter touchdown. He also completed 12 of 21 passes for 109 yards and two scores. Carmel visits North Vigo Friday.

18. Skyline (Sammamish, Wash.)
Record: 5-0
Points: 166
Previous rank: 19

The Spartans' offense jumped all over Garfield, building a 35-0 halftime lead and cruising to a 35-2 win. Senior running back Joey Evans rushed for three first-quarter touchdowns and wideout Gino Simone added a 74-yard punt return touchdown. Junior QB Jake Heaps added an 8-yard scoring strike to Jake Knecht before being pulled at halftime. The next game for Washington's No. 1 will be Friday against Eastlake.

19. Southlake Carroll (Southlake, Texas)
Record: 5-0
Points: 166
Previous rank: 21

After having two contests against Houston-area teams canceled due to Hurricane Ike, Southlake Carroll learned that the third time was the charm as the Dragons hosted Katy Cinco Ranch and treated their visitors rudely on the way to a 42-24 win. Senior SMU-bound quarterback Kyle Padron once again led the way for the Carroll offense, completing 24 of his 36 passes for 327 yards and four touchdowns. Padron also rushed for 45 yards and a score as the Dragons totaled 517 yards of offense while the Carroll defense tallied seven sacks. The Dragons travel to once-beaten Coppel Friday.

20. Centennial (Corona, Calif.)
Record: 4-0
Points: 152
Previous rank: 22

Senior quarterback Taylor Martinez won't make Husky fans forget about graduated standout Matt Scott (now at Arizona), but he's getting better. In a 34-19 win Thursday over Corona, Martinez threw for three touchdowns and got the scoring started with a 66-yard touchdown run. Two of Martinez's TDs went to Nick Beasley with the other going to Ricky Marvray. Senior RB Arthur Burns also rushed for 115 yards on 20 carries and had one TD. Centennial goes up against new school Roosevelt of Corona Friday.

21. Maryville (Maryville, Tenn.)
Record: 7-0
Points: 145
Previous rank: 23

Thomas Shuler led a Maryville rushing attack that compiled 304 yards en route to a 38-17 victory over Knoxville Central. The senior RB had 10 carries for 130 yards and caught a 67-yard touchdown pass in the win. The win extends the Rebels' winning streak to 67 straight games. Maryville travels to play West on Friday.

22. St. Ignatius (Cleveland)
Record: 6-1
Points: 144
Previous rank: 24

The Wildcats scored 49 points for the third straight game while overpowering Warren Harding 49-7 for their sixth straight win. Harding scored on the opening possession before the Wildcats responded with touchdowns on their next seven series. Quarterback Andrew Holland completed 16 of 18 passes for 192 yards and three touchdowns to three different receivers. Since losing to unbeaten FAB 50 No. 9 Glenville on a last-play field goal, the Wildcats have outscored foes 238-45. St. Ignatius tackles La Salle Saturday.

23. Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.)
Record: 3-1
Points: 137
Previous rank: 25

After four weeks of taking on out-of-state opponents, the Ironmen finally opened their in-state schedule by dominating Teaneck 49-0. Bosco went to the air against Teaneck as senior quarterback Brett Knief, who has committed to North Carolina for baseball, showed off his strong arm with 208 passing yards and five touchdowns. The Ironmen face a tough test on Friday when they host undefeated Montclair.

24. Phoebus (Hampton, Va.)
Record: 6-0
Points: 135
Previous rank: 26

Phoebus was the model of efficiency last week -- scoring on all nine of its possessions in a 65-13 rout of Gloucester. Junior running back Shawne Alston led the way with three rushing touchdowns as the Phantoms played for the second straight week without injured quarterback Tajh Boyd. Gloucester is the first team to score twice on Phoebus this season. Phoebus next clashes with perennial state power Hampton in a battle of undefeated teams on Friday.

25. Bellarmine Prep (San Jose, Calif.)
Record: 4-0
Points: 131
Previous rank: 27

Despite receiving medical clearance just hours earlier due to a bout with mononucleosis, senior running back Usua Amanam erupted for 237 yards on 19 carries and scored four times for the Bells in a 50-14 rout of San Francisco St. Ignatius. It was the first-ever home night game at St. Ignatius, one of the oldest schools in California, and the host Wildcats were within shouting distance at 14-7 at halftime. Bellarmine, which has given up just 26 points in its four games, put the clamps down in the second half. The Bells host Riordan Friday.

26. Bastrop (Bastrop, La.)
Record: 4-0
Points: 120
Previous rank: 30

In a 60-31 win over Rayville, the good news is that the Rams scored their highest total of the year. The bad news is they allowed 31 points after yielding just 36 in the first three wins. Bastrop trailed 19-14 at the break as Rayville's Phaquinton Lawson put on a dazzling passing display. Although Lawson would finish with 377 yards in the air, Bastrop's Romalis Whitmore (11 tackles) and Charleston Williams (10 tackles) slowed him down enough to allow Bastrop to score 30 points in the third quarter. The Rams get winless Franklin Parish on Friday.

27. Arrowhead (Hartland, Wis.)
Record: 6-0
Points: 118
Previous rank: 28

Brian Crook returned the second half kickoff for an 80-yard score and a 20-19 lead and the Warhawks never looked back en route to a 41-19 victory over Waukesha South. Senior RB Calvin Ramsey scored two of his four touchdowns, all 30 yards or longer, in the fourth quarter. The defending state Division 1 champion visits Waukesha North Friday.

28. Quince Orchard (Gaithersburg, Md.)
Record: 5-0
Points: 115
Previous rank: 29

A day after its No. 1 state ranking was threatened by Good Counsel's nationally televised victory over DeMatha, Quince Orchard responded with its most dominating half of play in a 35-0 victory over league rival Gaithersburg. The Cougars forced Gaithersburg into four turnovers in its first four possessions and cruised to the victory, their 19th straight overall. Each of the past five games between these rivals had been decided by one touchdown. Dawuan Genies made sure that was not the case this year. The senior tailback rushed for 120 yards on seven carries with three touchdowns and had scoring runs of 16 and 48 yards on his first two touches. Quince Orchard plays host to Walt Whitman on Friday.

29. North Shore (Houston, Texas)
Record: 3-0
Points: 108
Previous rank: 31

It certainly wasn't easy, but after 28 days of inactivity due to Hurricane Ike, the Mustangs finally returned to action and got a 26-yard touchdown pass from Alex Tillman to DeAndrew White with 26 seconds left to top Lufkin 28-21 and set a new Texas state record with a 73rd consecutive regular-season victory. The continuance of North Shore's streak, which broke the previous mark set by Southlake Carroll from 1986 to 1994, snapped another notable string, that of Lufkin's 27 straight home victories. The win was a struggle for the Mustangs, who managed only 220 yards of total offense, but the defense stepped up big-time, forcing six turnovers, and turning three of those into scores, as Terrence Kindle, Jarrod Foster and Larry Stephens all returned fumbles for touchdowns. North Shore hosts Port Arthur Memorial Friday.

30. Permian (Odessa, Texas)
Record: 5-0
Points: 98*
Previous rank: 35

The crosstown showdown between undefeated rivals Permian and Odessa quickly turned into a laugher as Permian totaled more than 400 yards of offense and scored on each possession in the first half on the way to a 40-6 halftime lead in a convincing 54-20 rout. Quarterback Trevor Adams led the offensive barrage for the Panthers, passing for 214 yards and two touchdowns while also scoring on a 73-yard run, while Sherard Ray added 194 yards on just 17 carries. Mojo hosts longtime rival Midland Lee Friday night.

31. Elder (Cincinnati, Ohio)
Record: 6-1
Points: 98*
Previous rank: 37

The Panthers captured their fifth straight win while remaining unbeaten against in-state foes with a 28-14 decision over city rival Moeller. Junior RB Adam Brown rushed 24 times for 119 yards and two touchdowns while junior quarterback Mark Miller completed 11 of 18 passes for 136 yards and a score. Elder, which has lost only to FAB 50 No. 3 St. Thomas Aquinas of Florida, entertains Covington Catholic Friday.

32. De La Salle (Concord, Calif.)
Record: 3-1
Points: 93*
Previous rank: 32

It wasn't an opponent like the first three, but the Spartans still displayed some explosiveness for the first time this season in a 56-10 win over Granada. Four different backs surpassed 100 yards rushing with Kylan Butler leading the group with 11 carries for 146 yards and two touchdowns, Blake Wayne with seven carries for 143 yards and a score, Tyler Anderson with five carries for 109 yards and three TDs, and James Cannon with eight carries for 110 yards and two scores. De La Salle hosts Livermore Friday.

33. Prattville (Prattville, Ala.)
Record: 5-1
Points: 93*
Previous rank: 34

The defense never rests for the two-time defending state Class 6A champion Lions. Prattville recorded its fifth straight shutout since an opening-game 15-10 loss against Cincinnati St. Xavier. Prattville blanked Montgomery Jeff Davis 42-0 while scoring all its points in the first half. Senior running back Jerodis Williams led the offense by rushing for 104 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries. Prattville tackles Elmore Friday.

34. Plant (Tampa, Fla.)
Record: 3-1
Points: 92
Previous rank: 36

The Panthers were idle after two easy romps in which quarterback Aaron Murray threw for 15 touchdowns in just the first half of both games combined. Murray and the rest of the Panthers face winless Blake Friday.

35. Stone Bridge (Ashburn, Va.)
Record: 6-0
Points: 87
Previous rank: 39

Patrick Thompson is used to getting it done with his arm. This past week, he used his feet. The Wake Forest-bound quarterback rushed for three touchdowns as Stone Bridge handled South Lake 51-6. The victory puts Stone Bridge at 3-0 in the Liberty District. Stone Bridge faces Langley on Friday.

36. John T. Curtis (River Ridge, La.)
Record: 4-1
Points: 77
Previous rank: 40

A season-opening 16-point loss to No. 1 Trinity is being left farther and farther behind as the Patriots scored an impressive 48-0 win over North Miami Beach. Senior QB Evan Ingram accounted for three of the touchdowns and Kenny Cain rushed for 82 yards and another TD on just 12 carries. It looks as though the Patriots are starting to gain momentum as they head into Friday's game against Fisher.

37. Blue Springs (Blue Springs, Mo.)
Record: 6-0
Points: 68
Previous rank: 41

Junior wide receiver/defensive back Keeston Terry put together another phenomenal offensive display, this time in a 42-28 win over Park Hill South. Terry scored five touchdowns (three receiving and two rushing) and caught seven passes for 187 yards. Junior quarterback Jared Lanpher passed for 214 yards and three scores, while sophomore running back Darrian Miller ran for 112 yards and had a 79-yard touchdown run. The Wildcats host Lee's Summit North (2-4) on Friday before their big tilt at Blue Springs South on Oct. 17.

38. North Penn (Lansdale, Pa.)
Record: 6-0
Points: 66
Previous rank: 42

The Knights upended Central Bucks West 49-7 thanks to more than 500 yards of total offense. Senior running back Tyler Smith ran for 170 yards on only 14 carries and had two touchdown runs, including an 88-yarder. Senior quarterback Justin Davey got into the act by throwing and running for scores. North Penn will host Quakertown on Friday.

39. Maine South (Park Ridge, Ill.)
Record: 5-0
Points: 62
Previous rank: 43

The Hawks jumped to a 41-0 lead at halftime and routed Waukegan 48-0 while gearing up for a major test this weekend. Up next is unbeaten Central Suburban South rival Glenbrook South, which lost twice to South last season. Against Waukegan, quarterback Charlie Goro ran for three touchdowns and passed for two scores, all in the first half. The Vanderbilt recruit sat out the second half and ended with 12-of-20 passing for 182 yards.

40. St. Bonaventure (Ventura, Calif.)
Record: 4-0
Points: 54*
Previous rank: 44

It was the perfect week to have a bye for the Seraphs. First, they were able to savor their previous win over previously unbeaten Crespi of Encino, which was in the FAB 50 at the time. Second, extra time could be spent working on the game plan for Friday's opponent, Long Beach Poly. It will be showdown of California's No. 1 and No. 4 state-ranked squads.

41. Abilene (Abilene, Texas)
Record: 6-0
Points: 54*
Previous rank: 45

The Eagles made the most of their trip to Fort Worth to take on new district foe Paschal, destroying the Panthers 81-3. Three players accounted for four scores for the Abilene offense -- QB Stephen Warren threw for four touchdowns and 224 yards, Zach Bass rushed for four touchdowns and 141 yards, and Herschel Sims caught touchdowns of 8 and 22 yards and ran for TDs of 33 and 34 yards. Abilene led 60-0 at the half on its way to the school's highest scoring output since 1942 and the fifth-highest point total in school history. The Weatherford Kangaroos hope to give the Eagles a tougher challenge Saturday.

42. The Woodlands (The Woodlands, Texas)
Record: 4-0
Points: 53
Previous rank: 47

The beat rolled on for the Highlanders on Friday night, as senior QB Andy McCloud threw for two scores and ran for another in a 42-13 win over Port Arthur Memorial, which was playing for the first time since Hurricane Ike. Sophomore running back Daniel Lasco raced to 167 yards and two touchdowns on just 12 carries for The Woodlands, which led 35-7 at the half and forced four Memorial turnovers. College Park is up next for the Highlanders, who have outscored their first four opponents 142-26.

43. Madison County (Madison, Fla.)
Record: 3-0
Points: 41
Previous rank: 49

The Cowboys destroyed East Gadsden 52-15, and move up six spots in this week's rankings. Senior running back Chris Thompson ran back a kickoff 75 yards to get the scoring going for Madison County. Thompson then rushed for 100 yards on 10 carries and scored three times. Teammate Corey Akins also went over the 100-yard mark as the Cowboys led by 42-7 at halftime. Madison County tackles Taylor County in conference play Friday.

44. Rockhurst (Kansas City, Mo.)
Record: 5-1
Points: 28
Previous rank: 48

Senior quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase and junior running back Sal Belfonte each ran for a pair of touchdowns and the Hawklets' defense stymied Hickman's rushing attack en route to a 41-0 victory. Rockhurst put up 35 of its points in the first half. The Hawklets will host Minnetonka (Minn.) on Friday. It's the third out-of-state opponent for Rockhurst, which defeated Hutchinson (Kan.) and Mullen (Colo.) earlier this season.

45. Cretin-Derham Hall (St. Paul, Minn.)
Record: 6-0
Points: 23
Previous rank: 50

Head coach Mike Scanlon's Raiders scored 42 points for the second week in a row and since their defense is allowing just two scores on average over that span, the ratio clearly works in their favor. This time, Cretin-Derham Hall outscored White Bear Lake. Friday's opponent, Park High of Cottage Grove, won its first game of the season last week after five straight losses.

46. Union (Tulsa, Okla.)
Record:4-1
Points: 22
Previous rank: 46

Chase Boyce connected on 20 of 24 passes for 272 yards and two TDs while Jeremy Smith had 122 yards rushing and four TDs (all in the first half) as the Redskins romped past Owasso 55-7. The team still took a rankings hit due to the upset loss suffered by previously FAB 50-ranked Broken Arrow, which opened the season with a win over Union. Up next for the Redskins is a matchup against Yukon on Friday.

47. Oceanside (Oceanside, Calif.)
Record: 4-0
Points: 17*
Previous rank: NR

Coming off a bye week, the Pirates were sharp in their 42-7 rout of San Marcos. University of Colorado-bound quarterback Jordan Wynn led the way by completing 11 of 19 passes for 264 yards and three touchdowns. Two of the TDs went to Jerry Whitaker from 66 and 11 yards out. The top-ranked team in San Diego County also won for the 16th straight time. Oceanside plays San Pasqual in this Friday's game.

48. Northside (Warner Robins, Ga.)
Record: 5-1
Points: 17*
Previous rank: 33

For the first time in 36 games, the Eagles have tasted defeat. Northside couldn't slow down FAB 50 No. 2 Lowndes and suffered a 24-7 loss on the road. Senior RB Xavier Bacon picked up 111 yards rushing on 25 carries, but was held in check in the second half. Northside travels Friday to play undefeated Coffee County.

49. Centennial (Peoria, Ariz.)
Record:5-0
Points: 13
Previous rank: NR

Jumping into the top 50 for the first time, the Coyotes may have their hands full this week as they battle unbeaten league rival La Joya, led by Jeremiah Cornish, who rushed for a state single-game record of 389 yards last week. Centennial, as it did last week, will turn to 6-1, 205-pound senior linebacker Jimmy Lewis, who recorded three sacks in a 20-7 win over Desert Vista, which had come into the game with three straight wins.

50. Good Counsel (Olney, Md.)
Record: 5-0
Points: 11
Previous rank: NR
A well-rested Caleb Porzel put on a first-half show as Good Counsel steamrolled perennial power DeMatha 42-21 on ESPN2 Thursday. The Falcons, ranked No. 2 in Maryland, rolled up 28 first-quarter points behind the running of Maryland commit Porzel, who had touchdown runs of 7, 38 and 56 yards on consecutive runs. Porzel rolled up 111 of his 124 yards in the first quarter. Quarterback Tyler Campbell had a perfect outing, hitting all nine passes for 177 yards and a touchdown. Top prospect Jelani Jenkins got into the act with an 18-yard fumble return for a touchdown and a 1-yard touchdown run to cap the scoring. This marks the third time under coach Bob Milloy that Good Counsel has defeated DeMatha in the regular season. However, Good Counsel has yet to beat DeMatha in the league playoffs under Milloy. Good Counsel plays at home Friday against Bishop O'Connell.
