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

Now, we break it down by region.

The Mid-Atlantic Region saw all 10 of its ranked teams win — most by comfortable scores. The closest call came with Harrisburg holding off an upset bid by Cumberland Valley 21-16 despite throwing four interceptions. Junior RB Princeton Dent ran for 194 yards and two touchdowns for the Cougars in the victory.

A couple of upsets among our teams under consideration led to a couple of new teams making that list — Peters Township (PA), Howard (DE) and Quince Orchard (MD).

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).
