Two newcomers and a returnee highlight the latest High School on SI Maryland football Top 25 poll. 

After back-to-back 40-point losses led them out of the rankings, Calvert Hall (No. 17) rebounded with a road victory over then-No. 16 Mount Saint Joseph. Calvert and Old Mill, both boasting perfect 4-0 resumes, enter the Top 25.

Old Mill debuts at No. 15 after dominating second half effort at Anne Arundel County league rival and 2024 Maryland Class 3A state champ Arundel (then-ranked No. 13). Calvert, which has outscored its opponents, 142-23, is one of three undefeated and ranked teams (North Point and Saint Charles) in the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference, considered the best public league in Maryland.

Nationally-ranked Saint Frances Academy remains atop the Maryland Top 25, followed by DeMatha Catholic, Archbishop Spalding, McDonogh School and Quince Orchard. Our Lady of Good Counsel, Charles H. Flowers, North Point, Milford Mill Academy and Loyola Blakefield complete the Top 10.
