We recently released our High School on SI Power 25 national high school football rankings.

Now, we break it down by region.

While St. John Bosco-Mater Dei might not have quite the buzz it’s had in years past, both teams did their part to set up a Halloween night showdown by winning big last week. A Braves win would set them up to be the No. 1 seed in the CIF Southern Section playoffs and an overwhelming favorite.

Meanwhile, in the Grand Canyon State, Hamilton won its much-ballyhooed matchup with crosstown rival Basha 28-12 to move into the national Power 25 and rise to No. 7 in the Southwest Region rankings. 

The Bears fell out of the rankings, with Hawaii’s top team, Kahuku, taking their place.

Here’s a look at our Top 10 teams in the Southwest Region (Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico).
