MaxPreps Top 25 high school football scores: Don Bosco Prep stuns No. 13 Bergen Catholic with dominant 31-7 win

In one of the best rivalries in high school football Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.) dominated No. 13 Bergen Catholic (Oradell, N.J.) and rolled to a 31-7 win. After the Crusaders tied the game 7-7 in the first quarter after a 69-yard touchdown run from Kaj Sanders, the Ironmen scored the final 24 points. Senior quarterback Nick Minicucci threw for two scores and the defense shut down Bergen's offense. Don Bosco Prep improved to 3-2 and snapped the Crusaders 17-game win streak.

The only MaxPreps Top 25 matchup of the week featured No. 25 Dutch Fork (Irmo, S.C.) hosting No. 3 St. Frances Academy (Baltimore) on Friday and the Panthers cruised to a 26-7 win. The Baltimore power improved to 4-0 and reeled off its 12th consecutive victory. The Panthers travel to Hawaii next week to face Kahuku on Sept. 30.

No. 9 Chandler (Ariz.) overcame a 14-0 first half deficit to beat Saguaro (Scottsdale, Ariz.) 31-21 in a rematch of the 2021 Open Division state championship. The Wolves improved to 4-0 and five-star Ohio State commit Dylan Raiola threw for two touchdowns. Junior running back Ca'lil Valentine accounted for two scores giving him 10 total touchdowns on the season.

No. 11 Westlake (Austin, Texas) won its 44th consecutive game with a 35-20 win over rival Lake Travis (Austin, Texas). The Chaparrals trailed 10-7 at halftime but outscored the Cavaliers 28-10 in the final 24 minutes.

No. 12 IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) overcame a 19-6 first half deficit against Central (Phenix City, Ala.) and beat the Red Devils 41-26 to win its third straight game after a season-opening loss against No. 4 Central (Miami).

No. 1 St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) won its last non-league game of the season before Trinity League action gets underway on Sept. 30 at Servite (Anaheim). They beat Central Catholic (Modesto) 65-0 to improve to 5-0. The Braves have outscored their first five opponents 242-28. No. 2 Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) was idle this week and face JSerra Catholic (San Juan Capistrano) before an Oct. 7 showdown against St. John Bosco at Santa Ana Stadium.

No. 18 Grayson (Loganville, Ga.) lost 24-14 against Lowndes (Valdosta, Ga.). This makes room for three teams to join next week's national rankings after the Rams, No. 13 Bergen Catholic (Oradell, N.J.) and No. 25 Dutch Fork (Irmo, S.C.) lost. 

The last MaxPreps Top 25 team to play was No. 4 Central (Miami) on Saturday and they improved to 4-0 with a one-sided 43-7 win over Dillard (Fort Lauderdale) at Traz Powell Stadium.
