Mater Dei Monarchs (4-0)

With big names like cornerbacks Chuck McDonald (Alabama commit) and Daryus Dixson (Penn State commit), running back Jordan Davison (Oregon commit), and wideout Chris Henry (Ohio State commit), the Monarchs are loaded with talent on both sides of the ball.

That is a big reason they have won all of their games by a double-digit scoring margin, including three against current or former Top 25 teams.

They will be looking to continue that trend on Friday when they face a Santa Margarita squad they have outscored by 150 points over the two teams' last four meetings.

Santa Margarita Eagles (3-2)

The Eagles have a lot of talent on their squad as well, such as defensive lineman JJ Janne (Georgia commit), Elihjah Vaikona (USC commit), and QB John Gazzaniga (uncommitted), but it will be tough for them to hang with the No. 1 team in the country.

Santa Margarita is definitely capable of surprising some teams though, as the Eagles did when they defeated then No. 12 Corona Centennial 35-15 at the end of August.
