Only two ranked teams fall among Super 25

USA TODAY Super 25 teams had an impressive weekend, recording a 21-2 mark in games Friday and Saturday night, with one game suspended by lightning and one team on a bye week.

Check out a complete rundown of how the Top 25 fared, and click on a state to find scores from schools across the country.

Everybody in the Top 10 came away with victories, including DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.) and Gateway (Monroeville, Pa.), which rebounded after opening week losses.

Not so fortunate were the week's two upset victims, No. 11 Poly (Long Beach, Calif.) and No. 12 Jenks, Okla.

One week after a 21-13 win over Glenville (Cleveland) in the Ohio vs. USA Kirk Herbstreit Challenge, Poly returned to its home state to suffer a 20-7 loss to Birmingham (Lake Balboa, Calif.), squaring its record at 1-1. Birmingham running back Milton Knox called it "the biggest win in Birmingham football history."

Also tasting early defeat was Jenks, the state's defending Class 6A state champion, which fell 43-42 in overtime to Union in the 40th annual "Backyard Bowl" played before 20,000 fans at the University of Tulsa's Chapman Stadium. Tulsa World columnist Jimmie Tramel calls the Jenks-Union rivalry the best in the nation.

No. 16 Booker T. Washington (Miami) had its game suspended by lightning in the third quarter against Central (Miami). Washington was leading 9-6 at the time. The Miami Herald says that since it's a non-district game, it is not likely to be resumed and the game won't count on either team's record.

In USA TODAY's High School Game of the Week, No. 4 St. Xavier (Cincinnati) took advantage of late turnovers by Glenville (Cleveland) to pull away to a 27-12 victory. Senior wide receiver and kicker Danny Milligan compensated for the loss of injured running back Darius Ashley by scoring two touchdowns, kicking two field goals and three extra points. See photos of the game from The Cincinnati Enquirer.

In other action...

No. 18 Edison (Huntington Beach, Calif.) won without UCLA-bound quarterback Nick Crissman, the No. 6-rated pro-style QB in the nation (Rivals.com) who is likely to miss two more games as well after an appendectomy Tuesday ... Also in California, No. 19 Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks) crunched Canyon (Canyon Country) 17-7, taking down the state's reigning Division I bowl champion (see L.A. Times photo gallery). ... The blowout of the week honors goes to Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.), which saw Andrew Abbott run back the opening kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown and never looked back in a 58-6 win over West Covina ... The nation's top prospect, QB Terrelle Pryor of Jeannette, Pa., completed 7 of 9 passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns in his team's 52-12 rout of Washington. Terrelle Pryor didn't play after the first possession of the second half. ... What other kind of outcome would you expect when both teams are named Texarkana? Crosstown and state-line rivals Texarkana, Ark., and Texarkana, Texas, played to a 17-17 tie. Actually, it's the first time the two teams have played to a tie since their series began in 1946 ... South Panola of Batesville, Miss., now owner of the nation's longest winning streak since Independence (Charlotte) lost to Elder (Cincinnati) a week ago, upped that count to 62 with a 42-0 whitewashing of Clarksdale. Independence started a new streak with a 49-32 win over West Charlotte ... Byrnes (Duncan, S.C.) succeeded where Summerville (S.C.) failed two weeks ago, beating a visiting Florida team, Dr. Phillips (Orlando) 18-14. Summerville was beaten by Miami's Booker T. Washington ...

And finally ... No. 1 Southlake Carroll (Texas) and No. 2 Northwestern (Miami) remained on a collision course for next weekend's "Clash of Champions" with victories over Lake Highlands and Homestead, respectively. Riley Dodge passed for 331 yards and four touchdowns in SLC's 42-10 win over Lake Highlands, the Dragons' 49th consecutive win. Northwestern committed six turnovers and trailed 15-14 at halftime before rebounding for the 28-18 win. The defending state champs from Texas and Florida will meet on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET on the campus of Southern Methodist University. Winner of that game advances to take on the loser of the Notre Dame-Michigan game ...
