The Scout Top 50 - Week 7

The No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the country Don Bosco Prep of Ramsey, N.J. and St. Thomas Aquinas of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. each faced tests from ranked competition. Only one was standing when the game was over, and those weren't the only shakeups in the Scout Top 50.

Don Bosco Prep of Ramsey, N.J. had already faced tough tests to open the season including Scout Top 50 teams Mission Viejo of California and Manatee of Florida. The Ironmen faced another ranked opponent when No. 5 St. Edward of Ohio came calling. Like the previous two ranked opponents Don Bosco faced, St. Edward went home with a loss.

St. Edward took a fall in the Scout Top 50 and could find itself out all together if they don't regroup quickly against a good St. Xavier team of Cincinnati, Ohio who has also been ranked at times this year.

The Ironmen solidified their spot atop the Scout Top 50 with its convincing 38-7 win over St. Edward while St. Thomas Aquinas of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. was not as fortunate. No. 43 Miramar of Miramar, Fla. proved to be the better team as they outlasted Aquinas in overtime 27-20 and took a meteoric jump in the Scout rankings to No. 7.

Trinity of Louisville, Ky. continues to manhandle opponents. Previously unbeaten Dupont Manual was the latest victim of a 58-7 thrashing. Louisville Male isn't the opponent this year that it typically is, but cannot be overlooked as a 10/28 date with No. 25 Archbishop Moeller of Cincinnati, Ohio looms.

No. 17 Servite of Anaheim, Calif. takes on No. 38 Orange Lutheran of Orange, Calif. in the only match up featuring Scout Top 50 teams. Both teams took the week off to prepare for the brutal Trinity league schedule.

While the Golden State matchup is the only game featuring two ranked opponents, there are several games to watch where Scout Top 50 teams will be tested heavily including:

No. 6 Miramar vs. Boyd Anderson (5-0)
No. 8 Buford vs. Greater Atlanta Christian (6-0)
No. 13 Daphne vs. Fairhop (6-1)
No. 23 Pittsburgh Central Catholic vs. Gateway (5-1)
No. 25 Archbishop Moeller vs. Indianapolis Cathedral (5-3)
No. 29 Norland vs. Miami Jackson (6-0)
No. 32 Maryville vs. Farragut (6-1)
No. 35 Long Beach Poly vs. Lakewood (5-1)
