Maryland High School Football Top 25 State Rankings

It’s a second tour for Huntingtown in the latest High School on SI Maryland football Top 25 poll.

The No. 24 Hurricanes (4-1), who fell out of the Top 25 after a season-opening overtime loss to Great Mills, handed then-No. 20 Saint Charles its first loss (19-16) last weekend. Huntingtown, which reached the 2024 and 2023 Maryland Class 2A state title game, will play at No. 8 North Point this weekend in a key Southern Maryland Athletic Conference (SMAC) contest.

Nationally-ranked Saint Frances Academy and DeMatha Catholic remain Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, followed by Archbishop Spalding, McDonogh School, and Quince Orchard. The second 5 stay intact with Our Lady of Good Counsel, Charles H. Flowers, North Point, Milford Mill Academy and Loyola Blakefield.
