Two-time reigning Class 6A champ St. Joseph’s Prep is back on top of the High School Football America Pennsylvania Top 25 high school football rankings, powered by NFL Play Football. The Hawks ascend to No. 1 after taking-down former No. 1 La Salle College High School 21-14 in the District 12 6A semfinals.
That win sets-up a showdown with No. 3 Imhotep Charter, the 2023 Class 5A champ. The Panthers have moved up to 6A this year.
West Chester Rustin moves from No. 19 to No. 18 after handing former No. 10 Chester a 45-16 loss in the District 1 Class 5A quarterfinals.
There are three new teams in the statewide rankings this week.
Emmaus enters at No. 23 after beating former No. 20 Easton in the District 11 playoffs.
Thomas Jefferson breaks in at No. 24 and Springfield (Delco) makes its first-ever appearance in our PA Top 25 at No. 25.
