However, the team quickly rebounded, dominating Ohio’s Washington 35-21 before continuing their success with a solid 31-10 win against New York’s Iona Prep—now leaving them with a record of 2-1.

Previously ranked No. 2, St. Joseph struggled in their first game against Baltimore St. Frances Academy, losing 31-21. They found their rhythm soon after, winning their next two games, including a decisive 43-0 victory over Archbishop Stepinac.

DePaul started strong with a 47-14 win against Pope John XXIII and continued with an impressive 28-17 win over Good Counsel in Maryland, moving them comfortably into the ranks.
