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

Now, we break it down by region.

While Don Bosco Prep-Bergen Catholic is usually the game of the year in New Jersey, a close second this fall could be last week’s game between St. Joseph Regional and Bergen Catholic. The Green Knights survived a furious rally by the Crusaders that forced overtime, with Nate Bailey’s two-point conversion on a fake reverse sealing a 43-42 win.

The teams flip-flopped positions in this week’s Northeast Region Top 10, while St. Peter’s Prep takes DePaul Catholic’s spot at No. 9 following the Spartans’ 28-6 loss to Delbarton.

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).
