For the first time ever, Avon is the No. 1 team in the High School Football America Ohio Top 25 high school football rankings, powered by NFL Play Football. The Eagles finish 2024 at the top of our statewide rankings, created with our proprietary algorithm, after winning the Division II championship with a perfect 15-0 record.
Falling in behind Avon is Division I champ Olentangy Liberty at No. 2. Like Avon, Liberty’s No. 2 finish is the highest for the school since HSFA began its Ohio rankings in 2013.
Division I runner-up Archbishop Moeller finishes this season at No. 3, followed by Archbishop Hoban at No. 4 and Massillon Washington at No. 5.
