MCLEAN, Va., Dec. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.), which went 11-0 while winning a record sixth straight New Jersey non-public school state championship, finished No. 1 in the final 2011 USA TODAY Super 25 high school football rankings. 

The full Super 25 rankings appear in today's print edition of USA TODAY and online at www.highschoolsports.net. The USA TODAY Super 25 is the most prestigious high school ranking platform in the nation, dating back to 1982 when Moeller (Cincinnati, Ohio) went 13-0 to finish No. 1.

The Ironmen played a national schedule, ending the 35-game winning streak of California power Mission Viejo (Calif.) in the season opener and traveling to beat eventual 7A Florida state champ Manatee (Bradenton, Fla.). 

Don Bosco also beat archrival Bergen Catholic (Oradell, N.J.) twice, the second time coming in the Non-Public Group 4 state championship, 42-14. The Ironmen finished the season with a 46-game winning streak.
