USA TODAY Sports Super 15 East region football rankings, Week 4

Comebacks, surprises, upsets — this week had it all. St. Frances meets a new rankings neighbor in Hough this week, after lukewarm performances from DeMatha and Grimsley, and three new teams make their East Region Super 15 debut with impressive showings. More: USA TODAY Sports Super 25 national high school football rankings, Week 4 Here are USA TODAY Sports' Week 4 East Region Super 15 rankings. 1. St. Frances Academy (Baltimore, MD) Record: 3-0 St. Frances keeps rolling. They ran into no issues against Vero Beach (FL) last week, taking the win 38-6 as sophomore QB Justin Merriman completed 12-of-20 passes for 199 yards and three touchdowns. Next game: Friday, Sept. 11, at Bryant (AK), 7 p.m. CT 2. Hough (Cornelius, NC) Record: 3-0 The Huskies emphasized their dominance this weekend, rolling over in-state foe Providence Day 30-3 in what many expected might be a decent challenge for them. Their win streak extends to 17 games, with an opportunity to keep it going against Mooresville this Friday. Next game: Friday, Sept. 11, at Mooresville (NC), 7 p.m. ET 3. DeMatha Catholic (Hyattsville, MD) Record: 2-0 DeMatha squeaked out a win this week, but it wasn't pretty. They escaped Imhotep Charter (PA) 21-20 with a go-ahead touchdown in the game's final minutes — surely not the performance many were expecting. The shaky showing dropped them out of the USA TODAY Sports National Super 25 rankings, and has knocked them down a peg here in the East. Next game: Friday, Sept. 11, vs. Roman Catholic (PA), 7 p.m. ET 4. Grimsley (Greensboro, NC) Record: 3-0 Grimsley had a similarly lukewarm performance this week, coming out on top of East Forsyth (NC) 13-7 in a defensive slog. They'll continue their run of in-state foes next week against Southwest Guilford. Next game: Friday, Sept. 18, vs. Southwest Guilford (NC), 7 p.m. ET 5. Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, NJ) Record: 2-0 The Ironmen just continue to prove themselves. They jumped out 38-0 over a previously ranked Roman Catholic (PA) program, hanging on to take the win 38-14 and cement themselves atop the list of Jersey's powerhouses this season. Quarterback Carson Shoen had a strong showing, throwing for 93 yards and two TDs alongside a rushing TD. Next game: Saturday, Sept. 12, at Pope John XXIII (NJ), 12 p.m. ET 6. St. James Academy (Springfield, VA) Record: 2-0 St. James Academy dominated a pretty strong team in Paramus Catholic (NJ) last weekend, coming out on top 54-14. The Strivers are averaging 60 points across their first two games — a very small sample size, to be sure, but an accomplishment nonetheless. Next game: Friday, Sept. 18, vs. Mt. Zion Prep Academy (MD), 7:30 p.m. ET 7. St. Joseph's Prep (Philadelphia, PA) Record: 1-0 What a weekend for St. Joseph's Prep. The Hawks squeaked out a blockbuster win over struggling powerhouse Brentwood Academy (TN) 31-23, fending off a second-half comeback that narrowed their lead from an early 28-16 to 28-25. Ohio State commit Jett Harrison, son of NFL Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, hauled in five catches for 171 yards and two touchdowns in the marquee win. Next game: Saturday, Sept. 12, at Bergen Catholic (NJ), 1 p.m. ET 8. Central Catholic (Pittsburgh, PA) Record: 2-0 Central Catholic sneaks up a couple spots this week after its 45-0 rout of Woodland Hills (PA), on the back of its season-opening marquee victory over Bergen Catholic. Next game: Friday, Sept. 11, vs. Pine-Richland (PA), 7 p.m. ET 9. Providence Day (Charlotte, NC) Record: 2-1 The Chargers suffered a brutal defeat at the hands of North Carolina powerhouse Hough on Friday, falling 30-3 in the two teams' first ever meeting. Butler offers them a decent chance to rebound and, hopefully, not start to slide. Next game: Thursday, Sept. 10, at Butler (NC), 7 p.m. ET 10. Oscar Smith (Chesapeake, VA) Record: 1-0 The first list debutant of the trio, Oscar Smith opened their season Friday with a 29-6 win over Warwick (VA). Up next: Varina. Next game: Friday, Sept. 11, vs. Varina (VA), 7 p.m. ET 11. St. Peter's Prep (Jersey City, NJ) Record: 2-0 St. Peter's Prep didn't take the field this week. Their most recent result was a 30-27 win over St. Thomas More (CT). Next game: Friday, Sept. 11, at St. Anthony's (NY), 7 p.m. ET 12. DePaul Catholic (Wayne, NJ) Record: 2-0 DePaul makes its first appearance on the East Region list this week after beating a generally strong Seton Hall Prep squad, 28-17. Next game: Saturday, Sept. 12, at Monsignor Farrell (NY), 1 p.m. ET 13. St. Joseph Regional (Montvale, NJ) Record: 0-2 The Green Knights drop a few slots this week after a tough, 49-20 loss to Creekside (GA), falling to 0-2 on the season. Sophomore quarterback Ralph Tristani's 157 yards and two TDs through the air just weren't enough, and the team frayed around the edges as a 14-13 score at the half turned into their eventual 29-point deficit. Next game: Saturday, Sept. 12, at Delbarton (NJ), 1 p.m. ET 14. Catholic Memorial (West Roxbury, MA) Record: 0-0 Catholic Memorial will, finally, kickoff its season this Thursday against a strong Andover squad. Next game: Thursday, Sept. 10, at Andover (MA), 7 p.m. ET 15. St. John's (DC) Record: 2-0 St. John's makes its list debut after taking down a previously-ranked Archbishop Spalding (MD) squad, 21-18. The Cadets progress to 2-0, adding onto their 45-8 domination of Mt. Zion Prep Academy (MD) in their season opener. Next game: Saturday, Sept. 12, vs. Lewis J. Bennett/Olmsted/Middle Early College/East (DC), 1 p.m. ET Who dropped out
