The Scout Top 50 - Week 3

There were some high profile clashes involving teams ranked in the Scout Top 50. Who won, who lost, who's up and who's down?

The Top 10 teams in the country survived and even thrived against some huge tests over the weekend including Don Bosco's convincing victory over Mission Viejo of California who entered the game ranked No. 11 in the nation. Don Bosco faces another Scout Top 50 teams this week in Manatee of Florida. 

No. 3 St. Thomas Aquinas knocked Cypress Bay out of the Scout Top 50 with a thorough beat down of Cypress 42-0. Aquinas has a week off to prepare for No. 9 De La Salle, the No. 1 ranked team in California.

No. 6 Good Counsel won the battle of the beltway as they held serve against No. 13 Gilman in a Baltimore clash. The road gets a little easier for Good Counsel facing Valley Forge Military out of Pennsylvania.

No. 7 Allen (TX) faced a very good Longview team and dispatched them 42-23, but the week's most impressive showing may have been Louisville Trinity's (KY) complete 56-7 dismantling of Elder (OH).

Trinity gets a crack at another Ohio team in No. 12 St. Xavier. Should they win in a similar matter, it will be tough to keep the Shamrocks out of the Top 5.
