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

Now, we break it down by region.

It was a quiet week in the Mid-Atlantic Region, with the eight teams in the Top 10 that had games all winning.

The two closest games involved No. 3 Grimsley pulling out a high-profile interstate matchup against Varina, the No. 3 team in the High School on SI Virginia Top 25, and No. 6 La Salle College Prep knocking off perennial Pennsylvania power St. Joseph’s Prep.

This week features one of the best rivalries in Maryland as No. 2 DeMatha travels to face Our Lady of Good Counsel in a matchup that dates to 1958.

Here’s a look at our Top 10 teams in the Mid-Atlantic Region (District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia).
