Only two teams dropped out of the NUC High School Top25. The Tornadoes of BT Washington, FL could not hold onto a lead versus Miami Central, FL falling 36 to 27. The New Jersey Kings of football had their 46-game winning streak snapped as Don Bosco fell 13 to 6 to Gilman, MD. Replacing them in the NUC Top25 are DeSoto, TX and Carmel, IN. The Eagles downed Oklahoma power Jenks 46 to 27 while Carmel moved to (4-0) with a 38 to 0 win over South Vigo, IN.
