When the coronavirus pandemic split the 2020 high school football season into fall and spring seasons, we were left in a quandary — do we create two different national rankings or just one?
Today, we answer the question.
We’re going with one ranking after adding the Spring ’21 season results into the final 2020 High School Football America 100 national high school football rankings powered by BlackMP Living Water.

There’s no change at the top, IMG Academy (Florida) is still our “mythical” national champ. However, there are eight new teams coming-in, which shakes-up the overall rankings.
Trinity League champ Mater Dei, which won our national titles in 2017 and 2018, enters the Top 100 at No. 7 after a perfect 5-0 record during California’s shortened season that didn’t include a postseason. The Monarchs’ marquee win was against 2019 national champ St. John Bosco. The Braves finish No. 30 in the combined 2020-21 High School Football America 100.
At No. 29, we welcome two-time North Carolina Class 4AA champ Vance.
Washington D.C.’s Gonzaga is ranked No. 35 after a perfect 5-0 spring season.
The other new additions are: De La Salle (California) at No. 52, DeMatha (Maryland) at No. 53 Servite (California) at No. 68 and North Carolina’s defending four-time state champ Charlotte Catholic at No. 89.
