Four teams dropped out of this week's NUC Top25. Our Lady of Good Counsel, MD went on the road and lost to Nevada power Bishop Gorman 27 to 22.

Coming in at #23 Walton, GA ran over Brookwood, GA 35 to 24 with a tremendous performance by Alabama commit Tyren Jones. New at #24 is Miami Central who takes on #2 Grayson, GA this week. Taking up the last spot in the new rankings is Texas powerhouse Lake Travis.

There are several big games that will test NUC nationally ranked teams. The Grayson (GA) Rams ranked #2 host #24 Miami Central.

Defending Texas 5A DI State Champion Southlake Carroll travels to Allen, TX. This will be the first game at Allen's brand new $60 million Eagle Stadium. Texas power Euless Trinity travels to the State of Washington to take on defending State Champ and NUC #19 Bellevue Wolverines.
