#2 IMG Academy (Bradenton, FL) -vs- #19 Centennial (Corona, California).
Sort of a neutral site game as they are playing in Mission Viejo, CA. IMG will travel 2500 miles. Centennial will travel 50 miles. (Kind of like a neutral site game against the domers.... in Chicago. :-/ ) IMG looked solid last weekend beating a top 15 nationally ranked team from Georgia. Centennial beat Chandler high from Phoenix, AZ last weekend 56-49. Chandler high is normally a national power program but I have no idea what they have this year.
Centennial has a 6'-6" QB, 2018 recruit, Tanner McKee. He made his HS debut last week putting up some video game numbers. (espn profile below). Interestingly, Centennial had 4 kids who just transferred in from Upland high all ruled ineligible by the CIF. All four would have been starter on defense.

Cocoa High (FL) @ #1 Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas)
Cocoa high beat #16 Trinity Christian on the road last weekend in Jacksonville. Bishop Gorman went into Texas and whipped perennial Texas power #5 Cedar Hill high. Gorman is stacked once again this year. I have no idea if Cocoa will be able to hang with them.
Does anyone here know anything about Cocoa high? Can they make a game of it?
Don Bosco Prep (Nu Joisey) @ #23 American Heritage:
Bosco is not ranked nationally but they always field a solid team that rarely makes mistakes, commits penalties, etc... As a program, Don Bosco Prep can typically give any team in the country a good game. DBP is playing their first game of the year; American Heritage is playing their second. That's a huge advantage for American Heritage.
If anyone can add some knowledge about American Heritage, please do so.
Oaks Christian Academy (West Lake Village - SoCal) @ St. Joseph's Prep (Philadelphia).
I guess they are a Filth-adelphia power team but I personally place little to no value in PA high school football. Without knowing anything about either team, I'd venture to guess that Oaks Christian rolls, but we'll see.
Evangel Christian (Shreveport, Looosiana) @ #22 Allen High (Texas):
Evangel Christian is a really unique sports program. They're a K thru 12 program and will put a team together in middle school and have these kids play together for several years. By the time they're 11th & 12th graders, its not uncommon for many of these kids to have been playing together for 4-5 years. Former UF & UM QB Brock Berlin played at Evangel Christian.
