Week 11 of the high school football season saw a couple of upsets fell teams in the High School on SI Power 25 national high school football rankings.

The first happened in the Arizona desert Friday night, where Hamilton defeated crosstown rival Basha, 28-12, behind a record-setting performance from one of the nation’s top sophomores.

Then Saturday afternoon, St. Joseph Regional of New Jersey finally snagged its big win after coming up just short against Don Bosco Prep a couple of weeks ago, knocking off Bergen Catholic, 43-42, in overtime after the Crusaders rallied from a 35-14 deficit.

Hamilton took Basha’s spot in this week’s Power 25 on the heels of its victory, while Allen (Texas) replaced Bergen Catholic after the Crusaders’ second defeat of the season.

The big matchups this week see No. 1 St. John Bosco finishing its regular season against Trinity League rival No. 25 Mater Dei, while No. 11 St. Thomas Aquinas and No. 16 Chaminade-Madonna renew their South Florida rivalry.
