Calvert Hall makes the biggest move in this week's Maryland High School Football Media State Poll, jumping from No. 15 to 10.

Coming off a 44-3 win over Mansfield, Mass., the Cardinals have started 3-0 for the first time since 2011. Next, they face No. 15 Riverdale Baptist (2-1) Friday night on the road.

Calvert Hall's rise gives the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference four teams in the Top 10. McDonogh (3-0) is No. 3, Archbishop Spalding (1-1) is No. 7 and Mount Saint Joseph (1-1) is No. 9.

DeMatha, the defending Washington Catholic Athletic League champion, holds onto the No. 1 spot. The Stags (3-0), who travel to McDonogh Friday night, are ranked No. 4 in USA Today's Super 25.

Good Counsel (3-0), which has beaten Spalding and St. Joe in close games, is No. 2. The Falcons travel to Gilman Saturday.

St. Frances (2-1) also moved up after its win over Silver Oak, jumping from No. 16 to No. 13.

Howard (2-0) remained at No. 12 while Broadneck (2-0) dropped one spot to No. 18, Old Mill (2-0) stuck at No. 19 and Franklin (0-1) remained 24 after its game with Perry Hall was canceled.

Gilman (1-1) and Milford Mill (2-0) received votes but not enough to crack the Top 25.

The Greyhounds had been ranked No. 20 last week but their 50-7 loss to Bishop Sullivan, Va., dropped them out of the Top 25 for the first time in seven years.
