It is almost Friday the 13th.
As the calendar flips to October, several national high school football showdowns are looming on the 13th, including No. 1 Mater Dei vs. No. 7 St. John Bosco in Southern California.
On the other side of the country, Dylan Raiola and No. 4 Buford are gearing up for a Georgia clash with No. 12 Mill Creek on the same day. Raiola warmed up for that game with another impressive showing in Buford's 43-0 win over Collins Hill.
