LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Six-time defending Mississippi 5A state champion Neshoba Central, which has been idle since completing its perfect season three weeks ago, continued to be the top-ranked team in the USA Today Sports/NFCA High School Super 25 poll.

Madison (26-0) added three wins to remain second for a fourth-straight week, while Hamilton (33-2) and Keystone (34-0) each moved up a spot, and Champion (31-0) broke into the top five.  

New Palestine (29-1) outscored its two Indiana state tournament opponents, 20-1, to surge eight spots to No. 11, and extend its win streak to 18. Canyon (29-2), however, went the other direction, dropping from third to 17th after seven-loss Atascocita upset them in the Texas 6A state final.

Three schools joined the rankings — North Carolina state 2A champ South Granville (28-0) and fellow unbeaten school Wachusett (22-0) of Massachusetts at Nos. 8 and 9, respectively, and Virginia’s Prince George (22-1) at No. 12.

West Virginia’s Hurricane, Texas’ Keller and Massachusetts’ Milford dropped out.
