The No. 1 spot in the High School on SI District of Columbia football Top 10 will be up for grabs as the regular season concludes this weekend. 

Saint John’s College is No. 1 with a matchup at longtime District rival and second-ranked Gonzaga College Saturday afternoon in a critical Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) Capital Division match.

The Cadets (2-1 Capital) can clinch the No. 2 seed with a victory. Gonzaga (1-2 Capital) needs a victory and or a win by Bishop McNamara (Md.) against Our Lady of Good Counsel (Md.) to qualify for the four-team playoff. 

Friendship Collegiate Academy, Saint Albans School and Eastern maintain their respective spots in the Top 5. Archbishop Carroll, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Calvin Coolidge, Theodore Roosevelt and Maret School round out the poll. 

Roosevelt hosts Ballou Thursday, needing a win to qualify for the District of Columbia Interscholastic Athletic Association (DCIAA) Stars Division and State Athletic Association (DCSAA) playoffs.
