There’s no change at the top of this week’s High School on SI Baltimore area football Top 10 as nationally-ranked Saint Frances Academy maintains the No. 1 spot. 

Archbishop Spalding is back at No. 2 after an impressive win at then-No. 3 McDonogh School in a rematch of the past two Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) A Conference title games. McDonogh is third, followed by Loyola Blakefield, Mount Saint Joseph and Milford Mill Academy.

Arundel (No. 7) and Paul Laurence Dunbar (8th) each move up one spot while Calvert Hall College falls to No. 9 after suffering its first loss of the season. St. Mary’s wraps up the Top 10.

A pair of MIAA A contests highlight this weekend’s slate as Calvert Hall visits Spalding, and McDonogh hosts Loyola.
