National Prep Poll: The FIRST national rankings released in the preseason and each week during the regular season.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- After five consecutive polls with the Top 25 remaining virtually intact, there were four debut nationally ranked teams in the Week 13 National Prep Poll released Monday morning.

The highest riser was No. 17 Servite (Anaheim, Calif.), which entered the national rankings after not even being regionally ranked the week before.

The Friars were expected to be the top-rated team in Orange County this week entering their showdown with Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.). The Monarchs were ranked No. 5 in the country before succumbing to Orange Lutheran, 31-12, on Friday. Orange Lutheran was coming off a 28-13 loss at the hands of Servite two weeks before.

Birmingham (Lake Balboa, Calif.), which is now ranked No. 22, has the distinction of being the only team to defeat regionally ranked Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks). Notre Dame is the only team to defeat Servite this season.

Also entering the national poll this week was No. 23 Odessa (Texas) Permian. The Panthers hope to finish the season ranked in the Top 25 for the first time since winning the Prep Poll title in 1989.

According to the National High School Sports Record Book, published by the National Federation of High School Associations, it was the most points ever scored in a quarter by one team. Smith Center (10-0-0) has outscored foes by a combined 704-0 this season. Only four teams nationally have recorded more than 10 shutouts in a single season since 1980 . . . David Soldner of Lancaster, Pa., Manheim Township kicked a 27-yard field goal in a 45-7 rout of Millersville, Penn Manor. It was Soldner's 14th successful field goal attempt of the season, a new state record according to the Lancaster Intelligencer Journal. The national record is 22, shared by three players . . . Regionally ranked Kansas City, Rockhurst defeated Blue Springs, South, 27-21, in a battle of regionally ranked teams. Although the teams entered the game as the No. 1 and 2-ranked teams in Missouri, only Rockhurst will advance to the state playoffs. South, the defending Class 6 champion, is done for the season because only one team per district qualifies for the postseason.
