The blockbuster weeks just keep coming in the East Region.
After headlining last week's storylines with its first loss of the season, St. Frances Academy is down another slot this week with its second straight loss. The victor of that tough, 14-9 matchup, the Hun School, makes their well-deserved Super 15 debut at No. 14.
Elsewhere across the Eastern seaboard, it's been relatively smooth sailing as we inch closer and closer to the postseason.

The Strivers stay comfortable in their top spot this week, showing no signs of slowing down after
last week’s blockbuster victory over St. Frances Academy. This week’s win was one of their most dominant yet, rolling over Canada’s MU Sports Academy 69-3 to keep the momentum going.

Next game: Friday, Oct. 23, vs. Chaminade (NY), 6 p.m. ET
New York’s top squad still couldn’t be stopped this week, adding another mark to its perfect record with a 50-3 win over Fordham Prep. Nobody in the Empire State has been able to make Iona Prep sweat this season, and the Gaels don’t look to be letting up anytime soon.
