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

Now, we break it down by region.

Two results involving New Jersey teams led to a substantial shakeup in this week’s Northeast Region rankings. No. 1 Don Bosco Prep knocked DePaul Catholic out of the Top 10 with a 47-15 victory, while the Hun School also fell out following a 30-14 loss at The St. James Performance Academy of Virginia.

Taking their place were another Garden State school, Old Tappan, and Christian Brothers Academy from Syracuse, N.Y.

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).
