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

Now, we break it down by region.

No. 1 Don Bosco Prep, the only team in the Northeast Region in the Power 25, handled St. Peter’s Prep to secure the No. 1 seed in New Jersey’s Non-Public A playoffs as the Ironmen seek their first state championship since 2015.

The loss dropped the Marauders out of the region’s Top 10, with Monsignor Farrell of Staten Island taking their place. The Lions secured the top seed in metropolitan New York’s Catholic High School Football League AAA playoffs by beating Cardinal Hayes 38-14.

Here’s a look at our Top 10 teams in the Northeast Region (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont).
