National high school football Play of the Year in 2024: Vote for the best highlight
High school football state champions have been crowned across most of the country, and more are coming this week.
But this week High School on SI is taking a look back, returning the spotlight to the plays of the week made throughout the regular season (plus one play from early in the Michigan postseason) in 2024.
The High School on SI staff watched a bunch of highlights throughout the high school football season and picked our top 10 plays of the week from Week 1 in August through early November.
We've taken our 11 weekly winners plus the runner-up with the most votes and compiled them into one big highlight reel.
Check out the video and vote in the poll below the write-ups on every play to choose the best of the best in 2024.
The voting will conclude Wednesday, Dec. 18, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.
