We recently released our High School on SI Power 25 national high school football rankings.

Now, we break it down by region.

The top nine teams remain the same this week, with the national powers all winning comfortably, as did Clay-Chalkville a week after entering the rankings thanks to its 28-24 victory over Thompson.

Moving into the Top 10 this week is Baylor, which rallied to beat McCallie 38-35 in a matchup of Tennessee powerhouses. Junior RB David Gabriel-Georges ran for 280 yards and three touchdowns for the Red Raiders to help them erase an early 14-0 deficit.

Here’s a look at our Top 10 teams in the Southeast Region (Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky).
