We have three newcomers to the Top 25 this week, as Brighton (N.Y.), Ward Melville (N.Y.) and Milton (Ga.) all make the cut. Brighton stayed undefeated with a win over Pittsford (N.Y.), Ward Melville (N.Y.) did the same with a victory over Northpoint (N.Y.), while Milton beat Cambridge (Ga.) to win the Area 5 championship.

But it's still McDonogh (Md.) leading the way, as it has all season long. It beat two ranked teams last week, including a 9-4 win over then-No. 6 Notre Dame Prep. The win streak is now at 172 games and doesn't look like it will end soon.
