High School Football America 100 Powered by NFL Play Football
There’s nothing like those Friday night lights! We teamed up with High School Football America to present the 100 best teams in the nation every week.
Week 14 Rankings
Updated on November 20, 2023
This weekend's matchup between No. 1 St. John Bosco and No. 2 Mater Dei at the famed Los Angeles Coliseum carries immense stakes.
It will be the sixth time since 2016 that these two have played twice in a season. The winner will earn the CIF-Southern Section Division 1 title and the right to play for a California State Football Open Division championship.
And, the victor will also have the inside track to the 2023 High School Football America national championship. It's very familiar territory for both programs, because between them, they've won five of the last six HSFA national titles. Mater Dei owns three (2017, 2018, 2021) HSFA national titles, and Bosco has two (2019, 2022).
Bishop Gorman remains in the hunt at No. 3 after beating No. 161 Liberty Tuesday for the school’s 13th Nevada high school football championship in the last 14 years.
The High School Football America 300, powered by NFL Play Football, is determined using HSFA's proprietary algorithm.

Past Rankings
Updated on November 16, 2023
With five weeks to go until the 2023 High School Football America national champion is crowned, St. John Bosco (California) has the inside track to winning its second straight HSFA championship.
Bosco (10-1) still sits at No. 1 the HSFA 100, powered by NFL Play Football, after beating No. 103 San Clemente to advance to the CIF-Southern Section Division 1 semifinals. This week the Braves will host No. 20 Corona Centennial (9-2) for the right to play for the division championship. On the other side of the bracket, No. 2 Mater Dei (10-1) will host No. 13 Sierra Canyon (11-0).
If Bosco and Mater Dei win this weekend, they will meet at the famed Los Angeles Coliseum. The winner of that game would earn the right to play for a California State Football Open Division championship.
If either team claims that title, they will likely earn the HSFA national championship as well. Since 2017, Mater Dei and Bosco have won five of the latest six HSFA national titles.
No. 3 Bishop Gorman (Nevada) is still in the national championship hunt. On November 21, Gorman will face No. 173 Liberty for the Class 5A Division I championship at Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders. The Gaels are looking for their 13th state title in the last 14 years.
No. 4 Chaminade-Madonna (Florida) is also in the running for the HSFA crown, and could take advantage if the teams ranked ahead of them fall in their state playoff games. The Lions (10-0) are expected to cruise in this weekend's Class 1M opener. In the second round, the Lions will meet the winner of the game between No. 206 Cardinal Newman and No. 217 Benjamin. On the other side of the bracket are three teams ranked in the HSFA 300 — No. 113 Clearwater Central Catholic, No. 236 Trinity Christian Academy (Jacksonville) and No. 297 Carrollwood Day.
No. 5 IMG Academy (Florida), the 2020 HSFA national champ, is a long shot. The undefeated Ascenders (8-0) will need to beat No. 41 St. Frances Academy (Maryland) this weekend to keep a dark horse bid for the HSFA title alive.

While most of America was asleep Sunday morning, Hawaii's Mililani rocked the High School Football America 100. The Warriors took down No. 8 Kahuku by a score of 28-21 to claim the Oahu Interscholastic Association Open Division championship.
The win propelled Mililani from No. 298 to No. 53 in the HSFA 100, powered by NFL Play Football. Mililani, winners of ten straight since a season-opening loss to No. 264 Punahou (Hawaii), heads into the postseason as the top seed in Hawaii's Open Division.
Kahuku dropped out of the top 10 to No. 26 in the latest rankings. Kahuku was the architect of one of the biggest upsets of the high school season in Week 5, toppling St. John Bosco. Now, Kahuku will have to win their opening playoff game in order to earn a chance at a rematch with Mililani in the state championship game.
Another possible rematch looms in California, where national No. 1 St. John Bosco (California) and No. 2 Mater Dei (California) will begin their road through the CIF-Southern Section Division 1 playoffs. Bosco opens against No. 106 San Clemente (California), while Mater Dei plays No. 92 JSerra.
In the other quarterfinals, No. 20 Corona Centennial (California) plays No. 70 Orange Lutheran and No. 13 Sierra Canyon (California) takes on No. 79 Santa Margarita (California).
No. 3 Bishop Gorman will have to wait two weeks before playing for its 13th Nevada state championship in the last 14 years. After rolling past unranked Coronado 63-12 Friday, the Gaels will square-off with No. 172 Liberty at Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders, on November 20.

The country's top two high school teams begin the playoff hunt in California with a possible showdown looming in several weeks.
No. 1 St. John Bosco (California), the defending HSFA national champs, will open the CIF-Southern Section Division 1 playoffs in two weeks against No. 106 San Clemente. A win would send them into the semifinals against the winner of the game between No. 21 Corona Centennial and No. 70 Orange Lutheran.
Waiting on the other side of the bracket is arch-rival Mater Dei, which moves from No. 3 to No. 2 in this week's rankings. The Monarchs will open the playoffs against No. 93 JSerra. Waiting in the semifinals will be the winner of the first round game between No. 14 Sierra Canyon and No. 80 Santa Margarita.
Bishop Gorman (Nevada) dropped to No. 3 this week. The Gaels are two wins away from another Nevada state championship. They'll face Coronado in the Class 5A Division I semifinals before a possible matchup with No. 167 Liberty (9-2) or Shadow Ridge (6-4) in the finals.
The Gaels started the season with five wins over ranked competition. But after beating Liberty on 49-6 on September 14, Gorman has rolled past unranked teams en route to a 10-0 record. Their relatively low strength-of-schedule has hurt Gorman in the national rankings, which are determined by HSFA's proprietary algorithm.
Duncanville's dream of a national championship came to a close Saturday with a 49-35 loss to DeSoto in a battle of reigning Texas state champs. Duncanville tumbles from No. 8 to No. 20, while DeSoto climbs into the top 10.
Indiana’s Ben Davis continues its ascent in the national rankings after handing former No. 52 Brownsburg its first loss of the season in the opening round of the Class 6A playoffs. The Giants, who opened the season just outside of the HSFA 300, now sit at No. 54 after coming back from a 25-7 deficit against the Bulldogs. BD’s only loss this year came against No. 5 IMG Academy (Florida).

Eight weeks remain until the 2023 High School Football America national champion is crowned.
The top 20 teams all held their positions this week. St. Edward (Ohio) solidified its position at No. 16 with a 14-7 win over previously unbeaten Archbishop Hoban (Ohio). St. Ed's begins its drive for a third straight Division I state championship when the state playoffs begin this weekend. Hoban dropped from No. 22 to No. 26 in the latest rankings.
In Chicago, No. 67 Loyola edged No. 32 Mount Carmel 23-21, snapping the Caravan's 22-game win streak in a battle of reigning state champs. Loyola, the 2022 8A champs, rises to No. 39. MC drops eight spots to No. 40 this week.
Rabun Gap-Nacoochee (Georgia) moves up 26 spots to No. 69 after taking down former No. 67 Providence Day (North Carolina) 42-27 to close-out a perfect 10-0 regular season.
This Friday, No. 8 Duncanville will square off with No. 11 DeSoto for the District 11-6A championship. Duncanville is the reigning 6A Division I champ. DeSoto won the 6A Division II state title last year. And in another big battle in the Lone Star State, No. 19 North Shore plays No. 33 Atascocita for the District 21-6A title.

Updated on October 17, 2023
For the second time this year, St. John Bosco (California) sits atop the High School Football America 100 national high school football rankings, powered by NFL Play Football.
The Braves jump to No. 1 after a dominating 28-0 shutout of its arch-rival Mater Dei (California) Friday night in Southern California. Mater Dei falls from No 1 to No. 3 in the latest rankings, created with HSFA's proprietary algorithm.
Mater Dei could get a shot at revenge in the CIF-Southern Section playoffs. Bosco and Mater Dei have won five of the last six HSFA national championships.
Bishop Gorman (Nevada) holds steady at No. 2 due to the fact that the Gaels strength of schedule (SOS) isn't as strong as Bosco's. But Gorman's road to a Nevada state championship is an easy one, with just one ranked team (No. 167 Liberty) on the playoff schedule. During the regular season, Gorman routed the Patriots 49-6.
Mill Creek (Georgia) jumps up eight spots this week to No. 10. The reigning Georgia 7A champs defeated former No. 8 Buford Friday night on ESPN2. Buford dropped four spots this week to No. 12.
The Norland Vikings make the biggest jump inside the Top 100. After the 29-26 win over Miami Central, the Vikings move from No. 55 to No. 26.

This week features a huge showdown in southern Calirfornia. No. 1 Mater Dei (California) faces its biggest test of the season, traveling to rival No. 6 St. John Bosco (California) for their annual Trinity League showdown.
This year, Mater Dei and St. John Bosco began the season ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the High School Football America 100, powered by NFL Play Football. Bosco rose to No. 1 before a surprising 30-23 loss to Hawaii's Kahuku on September 16.
These two national heavyweights have won five of the last six HSFA national championships.
After Friday's game, there could be another matchup down the road in the CIF-Southern Section playoffs. Mater Dei and St. John Bosco have met in the postseason four times since 2016, and the winner of all four regular season games has lost the postseason rematch.
In Georgia, No. 8 Buford and No. 18 Mill Creek will face off. The suburban Atlanta powers enter the game with 6-0 records. The winner will have the inside track to the Class 7A Region 8 championship.
Arizona's Centennial makes a huge jump from No. 261 to No. 47 in the latest rankings after edging former No. 37 Chandler 29-28. The Coyotes jumped out to a 26-0 lead in the first half and then held on at the end.
Former No. 12 Miami Columbus (Florida) suffered its first defeat of the season Saturday night. The Explorers lost to No. 169 Homestead 32-16. The loss drops Columbus to No. 71 this week, while Homestead moves up 71 spots to No. 98.

October is here. But as temperatures get cooler, the high school football season is heating up.
Three-time HSFA national champ Mater Dei (California) maintains its hold on the No. 1 spot in the High School Football America 100, powered by NFL Play Football.
The Monarchs' road to the 2023 championship has plenty of hurdles. All nine of their remaining games will be against teams ranked among the top 300 in the country. The biggest hurdle will come in two weeks when first-year head coach Frank McManus takes his squad to No. 6 St. John Bosco (California). Bosco is the defending national champ.
No. 2 Bishop Gorman is expected to win out in Nevada, giving the Gaels their 13th state title in the last fourteen years. The Gaels won the 2016 national championship, and they could win it again if Mater Dei falters and if Gorman picks up a win against a highly-ranked team in the GEICO State Champions Bowl Series.
Last year, Gorman beat No. 3 Chaminade-Madonna in the season-ending GEICO game. If Gorman and C-M win out and Mater Dei loses, a rematch in the GEICO game could decide the 2023 national champion.
Louisiana’s Holy Cross is one of two big movers this week. The Tigers soar 204 spots to No. 98 after edging defending state champ John Curtis 42-41. JC falls to No. 100 this week after entering the game ranked No. 34.
Alabama’s Clay-Chalkville jumps 102 spots to No. 78 this week after beating former No. 17 Thompson 36-33 on national television.

After a tumultous Week 5, these was very little change at the top of the Week 6 High School Football America 100 national high school football rankings, powered by NFL Play Football. A week after Mater Dei reclaimed the top spot, the top fifteen teams hold their spots from last week.
No. 1 Mater Dei (California) will open defense of its Trinity League title this week when it plays No. 171 Servite (California). Mater Dei has played Servite every year since 1961, with the Monarchs winning 44 of 63 matchups.
The Monarchs have won back-to-back titles in the Trinity League. It's America’s toughest high school football league, with all six teams in the league are ranked in the HSFA national rankings.
No. 16 Sierra Canyon is off to an outstanding 5-0 start that includes wins over two Trinity League teams — No. 50 Orange Lutheran and No. 100 JSerra. This past weekend, the Trailblazers blew out former No. 59 Saguaro (Arizona) 63-6. Sierra Canyon has steadily climbed up the rankings after being ranked No. 69 in the preseason, with four wins against teams in the HSFA 300.
No. 3 Chaminade-Madonna (Florida) picked up another impressive victory last Thursday. The Lions moved to 5-0 with a 31-28 win over No. 11 Miami Central in a nationally-televised game. All five of Chaminade-Madonna's wins have come against teams that entered the game ranked in the HSFA Top 25.
After an 0-2 start, Northern California’s De La Salle makes a huge move into the Top 100 this week. The Spartans beat former No. 74 Folsom 14-7 to jump 44 places to No. 79. Folsom falls six spots to No. 80.

Updated on September 20, 2023
There's a big shakeup in this week's rankings after St. John Bosco (California), last week's top team and the 2022 HSFA national champion, lost to Kahuku (Hawaii) in a 30-23 upset on Saturday night in Hawaii.
Kahuku moves from No. 52 to No. 6 in the latest High School Football America 100 national rankings, powered by NFL Play Football. Bosco tumbles from the No. 1 spot to No. 6.
Preseason No. 1 Mater Dei (California) is back on top. Next up for Mater Dei is a trip to Maryland this week where the Monarchs will play No. 43 St. Frances Academy. After an 0-4 start against one of the toughest schedules in the nation, STA picked up their first win of the season this weekend against West (Utah).
Nevada’s Bishop Gorman moves from No. 3 to No. 2 this week. The Gaels are 5-0 with all wins coming against teams in the HSFA 300. After blowing out No. 174 Liberty (Nevada) on Thursday, Gorman has the inside track for a 13th state title in the last 14 years.
Chaminade-Madonna (Florida) jumps from No. 5 to No. 3 after knocking off its fourth straight opponent that entered the game ranked in the HSFA Top 25. The Lions, who beat former No. 13 American Heritage (Plantation, Florida) 28-16 Friday, will play No. 11 Miami Central (Florida) this week. C-M is one of six Florida teams in the Top 25.

Updated on September 12, 2023
A month into the season, High School Football America’s national rankings continue to evolve after 154 head-to-head Top 300 matchups over the last three weekends.
Florida’s Chaminade-Madonna continues to climb in the HSFA 100 national rankings, powered by NFL Play Football. The Lions move from No. 9 to No. 5 in the latest rankings after blasting former No. 14 Bergen Catholic (New Jersey) 61-21 last Friday. It was C-M’s third straight win over a team that entered the game ranked in the Top 25.
Up next for Chaminade-Madonna is No. 13 American Heritage (Plantation, Florida), followed by a matchup against No. 10 Miami Central (Florida).
Friday night also featured a showdown between four-time reigning Florida state champ and national No. 7 St. Thomas Aquinas and No. 28 Cocoa. STA won the game 37-36 on a last second field goal. On Monday, Cocoa appealed the outcome, stating poor officiating, to the Florida High School Athletic Association. The appeal was quickly denied by the FHSAA.
If there’s any consolation for Cocoa, its the razor-thin loss moves the Tigers from No. 28 to No. 23 in the national rankings.
No. 3 Bishop Gorman (Nevada) continues to put pressure on No. 1 St. John Bosco (California) and No. 2 Mater Dei (California). Friday night, the Gaels doubled-up Corona Centennial 56-28 in a nationally televised game. The loss drops Corona Centennial from No. 20 to No. 26. This week, the Huskies will try to get back into the win column when they face No. 39 Liberty (Arizona).
There’s a big showdown in Ohio this week. Two-time defending Division I champ St. Edward, ranked No. 9 this week, travels to Paul Brown Tiger Stadium to battle No. 20 Massillon Washington.

Updated on September 7, 2023
For the second week in a row, there are major changes inside the High School Football America 300 national rankings, powered by NFL Play Football.
St. John Bosco and Mater Dei remain No. 1 and No. 2 respectively with big matchups coming this weekend.
Bosco will play No. 36 St. Frances Academy of Maryland. The Panthers are 0-3, but all three losses have come against high-quality opponents — No. 5 Buford (Georgia), No. 9 Chaminade-Madonna (Florida) and No. 35 East St. Louis (Illinois).
Mater Dei, which is coming off a dominating 63-0 win over No. 112 Creekside (Georgia), will play No. 46 Kahuku this week.
No. 3 Bishop Gorman (Nevada) continues to inch closer to the two Southern California powers. On Friday night, the Gaels beat Miami Central 39-35, dropping the Rockets from No. 9 to No. 10 in the latest rankings.
This week, Gorman will play one of two head-to-head matchups inside the Top 25. The Gaels will play No. 20 Corona Centennial (California).
Reigning Florida Class 1S champ Chaminade-Madonna continues to move up. The Lions go from No. 10 to No. 9 after their 41-4 win over two-time defending 3S champ Cardinal Gibbons, who dropped from No. 23 to No. 52. Chaminade-Madonna will be tested by its third straight Top 25 opponent this weekend. The Lions will be hosting No. 14 Bergen Catholic, New Jersey’s two-time defending state champ.

Updated on August 28, 2023
Defending national champ St. John Bosco (California) jumped to No. 1 in the latest High School Football Football America 300, powered by NFL Play Football.
Bosco notched an impressive nationally-televised win over four-time reigning Florida state champ St. Thomas Aquinas. The win improves the Braves' win streak against out-of-state opponents to 16 straight victories since 2017. Meanwhile, St. Thomas Aquinas dropped from No. 6 to No. 7 this week.
Preseason No. 1 Mater Dei (California) dropped to No. 2 in the latest rankings, which are created with HSFA’s proprietary algorithm.
Nevada's Bishop Gorman continues to be a strong No. 3 after dominating former No. 74 Long Beach Poly (California) 60-15 in the Nike Football Classic. This week, the Gaels will be tested by No. 9 Miami Central in Las Vegas.
IMG Academy (Florida) is up a notch to No. 4 this week after edging former No. 10 St. Joseph's Prep (Pennsylvania). The Ascenders, who now own wins over two reigning state champs — Lipscomb Academy (Tennessee) and St. Joe's — travel to Alabama this week to play four-time reigning 7A champ Thompson, ranked No. 16 in the latest national rankings.
St. Joe's falls from No. 10 to No. 11 this week.
Buford (Georgia) drops a spot to No. 5 after a hard-fought 10-7 win over No. 118 Mallard Creek (North Carolina).
The biggest mover this week is Florida's Armwood. The Hawks move from No. 311 to No. 70 after upsetting No. 40 Venice (Florida).

Updated on August 21, 2023
The high school football season is off to a fast start, with 27 Week 1 matchups between teams inside the High School Football America 300, powered by NFL Play Football.
Southern California powers Mater Dei and St. John Bosco remain No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. However, Georgia’s Buford makes a big move inside the Top 10 after shutting out preseason No. 3 St. Frances Academy (Maryland) 18-0 Friday night. Buford jumps three spots to No. 4 in the latest rankings, created with HSFA’s proprietary algorithm.
SFA tumbles to No. 7 this week. The Panthers will try to get into the win column next Saturday when they travel to South Florida to face No. 14 Chaminade-Madonna in a nationally-televised game on ESPN. The game is part of the seven-game Broward County National Football Showcase.
Defending national champ St. John Bosco heads to Florida to face No. 6 St. Thomas Aquinas on ESPN2. The Braves have won 16 straight against out-of-state opponents since losing to STA in 2017. Meanwhile, the STA Raiders are going after a fifth straight Florida 7A state championship this year.
Bishop Gorman moves up a notch to No. 3 this week. The Gaels opened with a come-from-behind win over No. 70 Corner Canyon (Utah). It was the first of five straight games against nationally-ranked opponents for Gorman. This week, BG plays No. 74 Long Beach Poly (California).
No. 5 IMG Academy (Florida) picked up a quality win with a 35-10 win over preseason No. 23 Lipscomb Academy, Tennessee’s two-time defending Division II-AA champ. This week, the Ascenders will play No. 10 St. Joseph’s Prep from Pennsylvania, the state’s defending 6A state champ.
Buford isn’t the only Georgia team making a move in the Top 25 this week. Colquitt County is up five notches to No. 13 after an impressive win over preseason No. 11 Dutch Fork, South Carolina’s defending 5A champ.
Then there’s defending Georgia 6A champ Langston Hughes, which moves from No. 25 to No. 17. Friday night, Hughes came from behind to beat 2022 7A runner-up Carrollton 39-35 in a game that was televised on ESPN.

Mater Dei and St. John Bosco have won five of the last six High School Football America national championships. So it should come as no surprise that the two Trinity League powers find themselves at the top of preseason High School Football America 100.
Mater Dei starts the year at No. 1. The Monarchs were the preseason No. 1 last year, and they held that spot until losing to Bosco in the CIF-Southern Section Division 1 championship.
After beating Mater Dei at the Rose Bowl last November, the Braves rolled to the national title by beating Serra (San Mateo) for the CIF Open Division championship. St. John Bosco starts this year at No. 2.
Circle October 13 on the calendar for what should be the first of two meetings between the national powers. This year’s Trinity League regular season showdown will take place in Bellflower, giving the Braves a home field advantage.
The High School Football America national rankings, powered by NFL Play Football, are created using HSFA’s proprietary algorithm.
Florida placed 43 teams among the top 300 in the preseason rankings. Seven of those teams are in the Top 25: IMG Academy at No. 5, St. Thomas Aquinas at No. 6, Miami Central at No. 9, Columbus (Miami) at No. 12, Chaminade-Madonna at No. 14, American Heritage (Plantation) at No. 16 and Cardinal Gibbons at No. 24. Aquinas, Central, Chaminade-Madonna and Gibbons all won state titles last year.
Texas has the second most teams in the Preseason 300, led by defending 6A Division I champ Duncanville at No. 8. Buford, at No. 7, leads a contingent of 32 teams from Georgia. And aside from Mater Dei and St. John Bosco, California has 29 other teams in the HSFA 300. Overall, 29 states, plus the District of Columbia, are represented in the Top 300.

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.
