It was largely a quiet week of high school football in the East Region, but the five teams in play in Week 12 were a dominant presence.
Against century-long rival Gonzaga, St. John's (DC) left no doubt — striking first with a score in the game's opening minutes, the Cadets didn't let off the gas until the very end, ending with a one-sided 44-3 victory.
Roman Catholic and Varina both logged blowouts, solidly hanging onto their spots amidst an unchanged list.
