Past Rankings
Updated on November 7, 2024
For the second time in the last week, a highly-ranked Florida team has been stripped of all of its wins due to the use of an ineligible player. Earlier this week, the Florida High School Athletic Association took away all eight of No. 18 Miami Central's wins, which shakes up the latest High School Football America 100 national rankings.
Last week, the FHSAA stripped then No. 57 The First Academy of its eight wins after the Royals used ineligible players.
The sanctions drop both Miami Central and The First Academy out of the HSFA 100.
As far as the national championship chase, Southern California's Mater Dei controls its destiny. The Monarchs closed out the regular season last Friday with its second straight Trinity League championship.
No. 1 MD beat Orange Lutheran 38-14 to finish the regular season a perfect 9-0. The Monarchs open the CIF Southern Section Division 1 playoffs in two weeks against the winner of the play-in game between No. 48 Servite and No. 53 Sierra Canyon.
If MD wins its quarterfinal matchup, the Monarchs will face the winner of the game between No. 17 Mission Viejo and No. 21 Corona Centennial.
On the other side of the ultra-competitive playoff bracket is No. 5 St. John Bosco. The Braves will face the winner of the play-in game between No. 61 Santa Margarita and No. 155 Inglewood.
In the fourth quarterfinal matchup, No. 13 Orange Lutheran squares off with No. 49 JSerra.
St. Frances Academy (Maryland) is up two spots to No. 10 in the latest national rankings. The Panthers move comes after an impressive 30-3 rout of former No. 5 IMG Academy (Florida). The loss drops IMG six spots to No. 11 in the latest rankings created with our proprietary algorithm.
Florida currently leads the nation ranked with 52 teams in the Top 300, followed by Texas with 41. California and Georgia each have 28 teams in the HSFA 300, followed by Ohio with 19 and Louisiana with 13. Alabama and Tennessee are also in double-digits with twelve teams each.

Reigning High School Football America national champ Mater Dei (California) is closing in on its fifth national title since 2017. Friday night, the Monarchs destroyed former No. 2 St. John Bosco (California) 59-14.
The win gives MD a piece of the Trinity League championship and a stronger hold on the top spot in the HSFA 300 national rankings, powered by NFL Play Football. The Monarchs also own a 31-15 win over Bishop Gorman (Nevada), which moves from No. 3 to No. 2 in the latest rankings.
St. John Bosco, which may get another crack at Mater Dei in the CIF-Southern Section Division I playoffs, falls four spots to No. 6 in the latest rankings created with HSFA’s proprietary algorithm.
Mater Dei will close out the regular season against No. 11 Orange Lutheran (California) on Friday. A win over OLu will give the Monarchs the outright Trinity League title and the top seed in the upcoming postseason.
Georgia's Milton moves up a notch to No. 3. This Friday, the Eagles will host No. 72 Roswell for the Class 5A Region 7 championship.
Both Duncanville (Texas) and IMG Academy (Florida) move up a spot to No. 4 and No. 5, respectively. This week, IMG squares off with No. 12 St. Frances Academy (Maryland)
No. 9 North Shore grabbed a piece of the Texas District 23-6A title with a come-from-behind 27-23 win over Atascocita, which drops the Eagles from No. 19 to No. 20 this week.
DeSoto (Texas) returns to the Top 25 at No. 24 this week. Norland (Florida) moves up six spots to No. 25 after a 37-20 win over No. 268 Plantation (Florida).
Former No. 25 DePaul Catholic (New Jersey) tumbles to No. 53 after losing to Delbarton (New Jersey) 52-51 on a Hail Mary pass that forced overtime.
At the bottom of the Top100 are five new teams:
- No. 96 Glenville (Ohio)
- No. 97 Westside (Anderson, South Carolina)
- No. 98 Mallard Creek (North Carolina)
- No. 99 Dutch Fork (South Carolina)
- No. 100 Skyridge (Utah)

The Southern California showdown between No. 1 Mater Dei and No. 2 St. John Bosco is here. The two titans will play this Friday before a packed house with the Trinity League title on the line, along with the top spot in our national rankings and California Top 25.
Mater Dei (7-0), HSFA’s reigning national champ, has won four national titles since 2017. St. John Bosco (8-0) won national championships in 2019 and 2022.

Updated on October 10, 2024
The drive for the 2024 High School Football America national championship heats up this weekend with the top six teams in the HSFA 300 facing ranked opponents.
Reigning national champ Mater Dei (California) plays its long-time archrival Servite (California), up 14 spots to No. 32 in the latest rankings created with HSFA’s proprietary algorithm. The Friars make their move after beating former No. 36 JSerra 20-7 last Friday.
While the Mater Dei/St. John Bosco rivalry has dominated the Southern California high school football scene for more than a decade, the Mater Dei/Servite also gets the blood boiling for the two schools. The series dates back to 1961 with the Monarch having a decided advantage in the series. The last Servite win came in 2011.
No. 2 St. John Bosco (California) will be at home this week against No. 50 Santa Margarita (California), coming off a 40-18 loss to No. 1 Mater Dei.
Bosco, behind a freshman quarterback, stormed back to beat No. 12 Orange Lutheran (California) 28-24 Friday night. OLu led 10-0 at the half, but with Matai Fuiava sidelined with an injury, Koa Malau’ulu tossed four second half touchdown passes.
No. 3 Bishop Gorman has a Thursday night matchup against No. 125 Arbor View. The Aggies are a perfect 5-0 but have a tall mountain to climb against a Gorman that has won 13-of-the-last-14 state titles in Nevada’s largest classification. Arbor View, which opened in 2005, has never beaten the Gaels.
In Georgia, No. 4 Milton will be on the road to face No. 88 Gainesville in a big 5A Region 7 matchup. Both teams are a perfect 3-0 in region play.
With Hurricane Milton heading toward Florida, it’s hard to say what will happen with the scheduled Friday game between No. 5 St. Thomas Aquinas and No. 26 Chaminade-Madonna. STA has won a state-record five straight Florida state titles. C-M has won three straight.
In Texas, No. 6 Duncanville will battle No. 21 DeSoto for first place in District 11-6A. Both teams have won back-to-back state titles. Duncanville is the reigning champ in 6A Division I. DeSoto is the reigning champ in 6A Division II.
Speaking of Texas, Atascocita moves up sixteen spots to No. 18 after a huge 42-39 win over former No. 52 Summer Creek. The Eagles are 5-0 with all of their wins coming against teams that were ranked in the HSFA 300. In three weeks, Atascocita will play No. 10 North Shore for the top spot in District 23-6A.
Alabama’s Auburn High School jumps 166 spots to No. 44 after beating former No. 28 Central (Phenix City) 38-33. Central drops 20 positions to No. 48.

Updated on October 2, 2024
With the calendar changing to October, the High School Football America 300 national championship chase heads into the second half of the regular season.
Mater Dei (California) heads into October with a possible fifth HSFA national title clearly in its sight. The Monarchs are in complete control of their destiny with all six Trinity League teams ranked between No. 1 and No. 46 in the HSFA national rankings.
MD opens Trinity League play this Friday on the road against No. 41 Santa Margarita.
No. 2 St. John Bosco, which will play Mater Dei on October 25, opens league play this week at home against No. 12 Orange Lutheran.
The third Trinity League game this weekend will be in San Juan Capistrano where No. 36 JSerra hosts No. 46 Servite.
With Mater Dei and St. John Bosco playing one of the toughest schedules in the nation over the next two months, No. 3 Bishop Gorman (Nevada) has one of the easiest. However, a weak strength of schedule isn't a positive for the Gaels in the HSFA's algorithm.
Also hurting BG's national championship hopes is the Gaels have already lost to Mater Dei.
In Gorman's final five regular season games, the Gaels only ranked opponent is No. 124 Arbor View on October 10.
If No. 4 Milton (Georgia) runs the table in its final four regular season games, it's likely that Eagles may overtake Gorman, since two of their opponents are in our Top 100. The Eagles will play No. 90 Gainesville on October 11 and No. 99 Roswell on November 1.
No. 5 St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida) has been rolling is its season opening loss to Bishop Gorman. The Raiders, who have won five straight, still have games against No. 31 Chaminade-Madonna (Florida), No. 35 American Heritage (Plantation, Florida) and No. 116 Monarch (Florida).
DeMatha (Maryland) jumps 18 spots this week to No. 25. The Stags, who have won three straight since their season opening loss to No. 8 Archbishop Spalding (Maryland), beat former No. 22 Massillon Washington (Ohio) 20-14 last Friday. The Tigers fall from No. 22 to No. 26 in the latest rankings created with HSFA’s proprietary algorithm.
Mission Viejo (California) has cracked the Top 25 after moving from No. 30 to No. 22 this week. The Diablos, who are now 6-0, are likely to find themselves in the extremely competitive CIF-Southern Section Division I playoffs with all of the Trinity League teams and another highly ranked team from Southern California.

Updated on September 25, 2024
There’s no change in the first twenty-one positions in Week 5 of the High School Football America 300 national rankings.
Massillon Washington (Ohio) is the first mover. The Tigers are up four spots to No. 21 after beating three-time reigning Ohio Division I champ St. Edward 31-21 Friday night. It is the third year in a row that the reigning Division II champs have beaten the Eagles. St. Ed drops from No. 22 to No. 24 this week.
After an 0-2 start, Corona Centennial continues to rebound. The Huskies won their third straight with a 63-39 win over defending Arizona Open Division Liberty, dropping the Lions from No. 29 to No. 69. After starting the year at No. 12, and then falling as low as No. 68, CC now sits at No. 32 in the HSFA national rankings created with its proprietary algorithm.
The First Academy out of Orlando, Florida soars from No. 174 to No. 84 this week. The Royals, who had never been in the HSFA national rankings, until this year, beat No. 86 Atlantic (Delray Beach, Florida) 41-28 to improve to 5-0.
At the top, No. 1 Mater Dei (California) and No. 2 St. John Bosco (California) completed perfect non-league records with solid wins.
MD heads into its bye week after beating No. 13 St. Frances Academy (Maryland). SFA is 2-3, but its losses have come against No. 1 Mater Dei, No. 6 Duncanville (Texas) and No. 12 Orange Lutheran (California).
Mater Dei will open Trinity League play on October 4 against No. 41 Santa Margarita (California). Santa Margarita was shocked by unranked Leuzinger (California) 14-13 on Friday.
Bosco, which will play Mater Dei in Trinity League play on October 25, moved to 5-0 with a 35-14 win over No. 129 Pittsburg (California). Bosco also is on a bye week this week before opening Trinity League play on October 4 against Orange Lutheran.

No. 1 Mater Dei (California), No. 2 St. John Bosco (California) and No. 3 Bishop Gorman (Nevada) all picked-up impressive wins against teams in the Top 50.
Four-time national champ Mater Dei left the mainland and returned with its third win. The Monarchs. defeated No. 43 Kahuku 38-7. Next up for MD is St. Francis Academy (Maryland), which is coming off a hard-fought 28-24 loss to two-time Texas 6A Division I state champ Duncanville.
The loss drops SFA from No. 11 to No. 13 this week. Duncanville moves up a notch to No. 6.
St. John Bosco rolled to a 56-16 win over No. 49 Serra (San Mateo, California). The Braves, who are now 4-0, will close out their non-league schedule next week against No. 129 Pittsburg (California).
Bishop Gorman rebounded from its loss to Mater Dei by beating Orange Lutheran 55-28. OLu drops from No. 10 to No. 12 in the latest rankings created with HSFA’s proprietary algorithm.

Mater Dei (California) is in complete control of its own destiny and a possible fifth High School Football America national title since 2017. Friday night, the No. 1 ranked Monarchs dominated No. 2 Bishop Gorman (Nevada) 31-15 to solidify its grip on the top spot in the High School Football America 100 national high school football rankings, powered by NFL Play Football.
However, before Mater Dei can lock up another "nati," the Monarchs will have to navigate a brutal schedule that features seven regular season games against teams that are all highly ranked in the HSFA 300.
Of course, most fans are focusing on the October 25 showdown with arch-rival St. John Bosco (California). The Braves move from No. 3 to No. 2 in the latest rankings created with HSFA’s proprietary algorithm.
Gorman drops one notch in the latest rankings to No. 3. The Gaels will try to rebound this week when they face Orange Lutheran (California), which soars 24 spots to No. 10 this week after beating No. 11 St. Frances Academy (Maryland) 15-13.
Georgia's Milton holds at No. 4. This week, the Eagles will face No. 254 Blessed Trinity (Georgia).
St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida) moves up one spot this week to No. 5. The Raiders are now 2-1 after blowing out former No. 45 Columbus (Miami, Florida) 42-6.
IMG Academy (Florida) jumps eight spots to No. 6 this week. The Ascenders picked up a solid 34-13 win over Cocoa (Florida), which drops three spots to No. 18 this week.
Duncanville (Texas) moves from No. 8 to No. 7 after opening with a win at No. 130 South Oak Cliff. The Panthers will get a big test this week when they host No. 11 St. Frances Academy.
Maryland's Archbishop Spalding sits at No. 8, up nine spots, after shutting out No. 267 Archbishop Stepinac (New York). This week, the Cavaliers face No. 204 McDonogh (Maryland).
Bergen Catholic (New Jersey) climbs from No. 21 to No. 9 after taking down former No. 9 Massillon Washington (Ohio).
The biggest mover this week is Kentucky's Boyle County, the four-time Kentucky state champs soar from No. 230 to No. 21 after upsetting three-time Ohio Division I champ St. Edward 38-21.
North Crowley (Texas) makes its first-ever appearance in the Top 25 after snapping DeSoto’s (Texas) 23-game win streak. The Panthers are up 30 spots to No. 19 this week. DeSoto drops from No. 5 to No. 20.

Updated on September 5, 2024
With 50 head-to-head matchups this past weekend inside the High School Football America 300, there were bound to be lots of changes in the latest rankings.
While the top four teams hold their positions from last week, there's plenty of shuffling after that thanks to Blanche Ely's 35-34 overtime upset win over No. 5 Chaminade-Madonna. The win brings the Tigers into the latest rankings at No. 40, the highest-ever HSFA 300 ranking for Blanche Ely. C-M drops to No. 41.
With No. 25 American Heritage (Plantation, Florida) next up for Chaminade-Madonna, it's possible that the three-time reigning state champs could start 0-3.
One week after upsetting IMG Academy (Florida), Utah's Corner Canyon was an upset victim itself. CC was beaten by former No. 139 Lone Peak 28-21.
Lone Peak soars to No. 12, while Corner Canyon drops to No. 13 this week. IMG, which will play No. 15 Cocoa (Florida) this week, sits at No. 14.
St. Edward (Ohio) climbs seven spots to No. 7 after knocking off two-time defending Pennsylvania 6A champ St. Joseph's Prep. The Hawks drop five spots to No. 22.
Maryland's Archbishop Spalding continues its climb in the HSFA 100 with a 26-10 win over former No. 20 DeMatha (Maryland). The Cavaliers are up 13 spots this week to No. 17.
Also cracking the Top 25 this week is Venice (Florida) at No. 18. The Indians climb ten spots after an exciting 48-42 win over No. 107 Northwestern (Miami, Florida).
Blanche Ely is one of 20 new entrants into the HSFA 300 rankings that are created with HSFA’s proprietary algorithm.
- No. 40 Blanche Ely (Florida)
- No. 146 Owasso (Oklahoma)
- No. 165 Gadsden County (Florida)

Updated on August 29, 2024
After a big weekend of games, the 2024 High School Football America national championship chase is shaping up as we release our first in-season HSFA 300.
Let’s start at the top where the highly-anticipated showdown between No. 1 Mater Dei (California) and No. 2 Bishop Gorman (Nevada) is set. After a bye week for both teams, Gorman travels to Southern California to play the Monarchs on September 8 at Santa Ana, Stadium.
Both teams picked up impressive wins this past weekend.
Mater Dei‘s defense of its 2023 High School Football America national title began with a 42-25 win over No. 12 Corona Centennial (California).
Gorman won its 27th straight with a come-from-behind 29-21 win over No. 7 St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida). The Gaels’ last loss came at the hands of Mater Dei on August 26, 2022.
Mater Dei owns four HSFA national championships (2017, 2018, 2021, 2023), while BG won the national crown in 2016.
St. John Bosco (California), owner of national titles in 2019 and 2022, is again in the thick of the national championship conversation after beating three-time defending Florida state champ Chaminade-Madonna. The win moves the Braves up two spots to No. 3 in the latest rankings. C-M drops from No. 3 to No. 5.
Milton climbs five spots to No. 4 this week after taking down Preseason No. 24 American Heritage (Plantation, Florida).
Utah’s Corner Canyon soars from No. 35 to No. 9 this week after its 35-34 upset of Preseason No. 4 IMG Academy (Florida).
IMG drops six spots to No. 10. The Ascenders will try get into the win column this week when it plays No. 11 Bergen Catholic (New Jersey).
Two-time defending state champ Lakeland also makes a huge jump from No. 47 to No. 24 after beating Preseason No. 22 Miami Central (Florida) 16-8.
Collins Hill (Georgia) is the week’s biggest mover. The Eagles, who was unranked in the HSFA preseason rankings breaks into the Top 100 at No. 72.

Updated on July12, 2024
Mater Dei (California) sits atop the 2024 Preseason High School Football America 100 national high school football rankings, powered by NFL Play Football. High School Football America uses its proprietary algorithm to create its national rankings.
MD is the reigning HSFA national champs after winning their fourth national crown since 2017.
For the second year in a row, MD enters the season under a new head coach. Raul Lara took-over Monarchs in April after Frank McManus was let go after leading the school to a national title last year. McManus, a longtime MD assistant, took-over for legendary Bruce Rollinson, who retired at the end of 2022.
Is a fifth national title in the offing?
Mater Dei fans will find-out on September 6 when the Monarchs host preseason No. 2 Bishop Gorman from Nevada.
Before the Bishop Gorman test, Mater Dei will open the season against No. 12 Corona Centennial (California). After the Gorman game, the Monarchs will travel to No. 30 Kahuku (Hawaii) on September 14. Before entering Trinity League play, they will face No. 18 St. Frances Academy (Maryland) on September 27.
All six Trinity League teams are in the Preseason 300 with MD's arch-rival, St. John Bosco, checking-in at No. 5. Mater Dei and SJB have won six of the last seven national HSFA titles. The Braves and Monarchs will square-off on October 25.
Aside from its showdown with Mater Dei, Gorman, winner of 13 of the last 14 Nevada large school state championships, has four other nationally-ranked teams on its schedule.
BG opens at home against Kahuku and then travels to Florida to face No. 7 St. Thomas Aquinas in the Broward County National Football Showcase. After the Mater Dei game, the Gaels will face No. 71 Orange Lutheran (California) on September 13. Their first in-state game will be against No. 132 Liberty.
Florida's Chaminade-Madonna opens the year at No. 3. The Lions' first game will be against No. 5 Bosco in the Broward event. Last year, C-M, winners of three straight Florida state championships, finished No. 2 in our national rankings.
IMG Academy (Florida), the 2020 HSFA national champs, start where they finished last year, at No. 4. The Ascenders will play a ten-game regular season schedule. Eight of those games are against teams in the Preseason HSFA 300.
Heading into the season, IMG's highest ranked opponent is No. 10 Bergen Catholic (New Jersey).
After Bosco at No. 5, comes two-time defending Texas champ DeSoto at No. 6. Circle October 11 when the Eagles play No. 8 Duncanville in District 11-6A play. The Panthers have won two straight 6A Division I titles. DeSoto has won the 6A Division II titles.
St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida) sits between DeSoto and Duncanville at No. 7.
Milton, which won the Georgia 7A title last year, is the highest-ranked team from the Peach State at No. 9. With the elimination of Class 7A, Milton will play in Georgia's 5A this year.
Three-time New Jersey Non-Public A champ Bergen Catholic rounds-out the Top 10.
Overall, Florida leads the HSFA 300 preseason rankings with 46 ranked teams, followed by Texas with 40 teams. Georgia has 32 Top 300 teams, followed by California with 31 teams.

St. John Bosco Wins HSFA National Championship
Updated on December 19, 2022
In the closest finish ever, St. John Bosco (California) has won the 2022 High School Football America national championship, powered by NFL Play Football.
The Braves edged out Miami Central (Florida) for the crown, which is determined by HSFA's proprietary algorithm.
Over the last four weeks of the season, Bosco and Central were neck-and-neck. Central closed the gap slightly by beating No. 8 American Heritage (Plantation) for the Florida 2M title last week.
St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida) finished at No. 3. St. Thomas Aquinas and Miami Central have each won four straight Florida high school football championships.
Mater Dei (California), the only team to beat Bosco this year, finished No. 4. Last year's national champs spent most of the 2022 season ranked No. 1. But they fell to Bosco in their rematch in the CIF-Southern Section Division 1 championship Thanksgiving weekend. Since 2017, Bosco and Mater Dei have won five of the last six HSFA national titles.
Bishop Gorman finished at No. 5. The Gaels only defeat was a narrow three-point loss to Mater Dei. Gorman routed Florida state champ Chaminade-Madonna 49-14 in the GEICO State Champions Bowl Series. The loss dropped Chaminade-Madonna from No. 4 to No. 9 in the final rankings.
Texas state champ Duncanville finished No. 6 after defeating defending state champ and former No. 7 North Shore in the 6A Division I title game Friday night.
St. Frances Academy (Maryland) ends the season at No. 7. Four of the Panthers victories came against state champs — No. 15 DeSoto (Texas), No. 17 Dutch Fork (South Carolina), No. 41 Kahuku (Hawaii) and No. 62 East St. Louis (Louisiana).
At the end of the 2022 season, Florida has 43 teams in the final Top 300. Texas is next with 36 teams, followed by California with 33 and Georgia with 32.
From Unranked to the Top 100
Seven teams that started the season outside of the HSFA's top 1,000 teams ended the year in the HSFA 100.
- No. 43 Lincoln (California) - 13-1
- No. 54 Carrollton (Georgia) - 14-1
- No. 57 Liberty (Arizona) - 11-1
- No. 61 Baylor (Tennessee) - 11-2
- No. 90 South Florence (South Carolina) - 15-0
- No. 94 West Knoxville (Tennessee) - 15-0
- No. 96 Gainesville (Georgia) - 14-1

Updated December 20, 2021
For the third time in five years, Mater Dei (Santa Ana, California) is High School Football America's national champion.
The Monarchs, who are back on top after winning consecutive HSFA titles in 2017 and 2018, spent the entire 2021 season ranked No. 1 in the HSFA 100, powered by NFL Play Football.
Mater Dei's perfect 12-0 season was punctuated by 10 wins against teams ranked in the HSFA top 200 — No. 7 Servite (twice), No. 8 St. John Bosco, No. 9 Duncanville, No. 20 Corona Centennial, No. 81 Serra (San Mateo) No. 91 Orange Lutheran, No. 143 Norco, No. 144 Santa Margarita and No. 188 Liberty.
Right behind Mater Dei is three-time Texas high school football state champ Westlake. The Chaparrals wrapped-up a perfect 16-0 season Saturday night with a 40-21 win over No. 30 Denton Guyer for the Class 6A Division II title.
Like Mater Dei, Westlake never budged from their preseason No. 2 ranking. The Chaparrals' state title concluded the legendary coaching career of Todd Dodge, who retires with seven Texas high school football championships. Dodge leaves the game with a 40-game win streak.
Bergen Catholic finishes No. 3 in our national rankings after capturing New Jersey's Non-Public A championship.
Fourth-ranked North Shore beat No. 9 Duncanville on Saturday night to win the school’s third state title in the last four years in Texas' largest classification.
Florida 6A champ Jesuit finishes 2021 at No. 5. The Tigers, who started the year at the fringes of the HSFA 100, ended with a perfect 15-0 mark and won the school’s first state title since 1968.
St. Thomas Aquinas, whose lone loss on the season came at the hands of Jesuit on Sept. 3, won its third straight Florida 7A championship on Friday and finishes the season ranked No. 6 in the HSFA 100.
Servite (No. 7) and St. John Bosco (No. 8) fall in behind St. Thomas Aquinas, followed by No. 9 Duncanville. Two-time Tennessee state champ Oakland rounds out the Top 10.
Florida had seven teams in the top 25 and 17 teams in the top 100, leading both categories. Texas placed three teams in the top 25 and 15 in the top 100. Four California teams placed in the top 25, and 10 ranked in the top 100. In all, 23 different states, plus the District of Columbia, are represented in the HSFA 100.
