2015 Prep Football Rankings: Week Four

Once again, Jim Arnaiz Field at Benton Hart Stadium will host the marquee matchup of the week.

Games of the Week

#5 Cathedral Catholic Dons (1-2) at #1 Helix Highlanders (1-1)

Helix lead the all-time series 5-2

The Dons head to La Mesa with redemption on their minds after the Scotties ended their 2014 season with a 27-5 defeat in the Open Division semifinals. The previous regular season meeting ended with Cathedral edging their way to a 9-7 victory. Helix earned its first win of 2015 by routing Eastlake 56-7. A similar result this week could legitimize their argument as the top ranked team in the county.

#10 Madison Warhawks (2-1) at #9 Eastlake Titans (1-2)

Eastlake lead the all-time series 3-1

After suffering a lopsided loss at Helix last week, the Titans return home to face another tough competitor in Madison. The Warhawks survived a close battle against Bonita Vista and will aim to make it 2-0 against the South Bay.
