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

Now, we break it down by region.

For the second week in a row, all is quiet in the Mid-Atlantic Region, as all 10 ranked  teams won, although this time, there were a couple of close calls.

No. 2 DeMatha, which is ranked No. 11 nationally, escaped with a 12-7 win over Bishop McNamara to stay on course to receive the top seed in the WCAC playoffs. First, they’ll have to get past St. John’s, which is 5-2 after losing its first WCAC game to Our Lady of Good Counsel.

Meanwhile, No. 4 Irmo shrugged off a spirited upset bid by White Knoll, with junior Maleek Miller running for two first-half touchdowns in a 14-3 win.

Here’s a look at our Top 10 teams in the Mid-Atlantic Region (District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia).
