KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Five teams in last week's national rankings were upset victims, paving the way for five new teams to enter this week's National Prep Poll Top 25.

Among the debut teams is No. 19 Kingsland (Ga.) Camden County, which scored a surprisingly easy 44-16 win at Alabama 6A power Hoover over the weekend . . . No. 21 Allen (Texas) could rapidly shoot up the poll or see its stay in the Top 25 be brief, depending on how the Eagles fare on Saturday against top-ranked Euless Trinity . . . No. 23 Cleveland St. Ignatius begins its second stint of the season in the national rankings. It's only loss came in week 1 to No. 15 Glenville . . . Defending Virginia D-5 champ Ashburn Stone Bridge is in at No. 24 after outscoring its first three opponents by a combined 154-35 . . . No. 25 Maryville (Tenn.), which owns the nation's second longest current win streak (64), is in the national rankings for the third consecutive season.
