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

Now, we break it down by region.

The top three teams in the Mid-Atlantic Region rankings had the week off, including No. 1 St. Frances Academy, which was supposed to play IMG Academy in a game with national championship implications before the Ascenders called it off.

The only ranked team to fall last week was then-No. 8 Malvern Prep, which lost 21-20 in overtime to Springside Chestnut Hill Academy for its second loss of the season. The Friars’ spot in the rankings was Central Catholic of Pittsburgh, which advanced to the third round of the Class 6A state playoffs.

Here’s a look at our Top 10 teams in the Mid-Atlantic Region (District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia).
