It's not a team from Texas, Florida, California or Ohio that captured the Rivals.com national championship for high school football.Rather, this year's top team hails from nearby New Jersey. In the final poll, Don Bosco Prep tops the charts at No. 1 with a 12-0 record. The team that finished second, Division I Class AAAA champion Lake Travis of Texas, would have been our choice. The Cavaliers finished 16-0 and defeated three Class AAAAA teams.
Pennsylvania had an awful showing with only one team ranked in the top 100. LaSalle College, at No. 48, was the lone team ranked from Pennsylvania. LaSalle (right) beat State College, 24-7, on Saturday at Hersheypark Stadium for the PIAA Class AAAA title. The Explorers finished the season 14-1.
Also released earlier this week was the final Pennsylvania Football News poll. Cumberland Valley, the District 3-AAAA champion, finished No. 4 behind LaSalle College, State College and Ridley. CV dropped a 35-13 decision to State College in the PIAA Class AAAA semifinals Dec. 12.
