The De La Salle (Concord, Calif.) football program may have decisively lost the last two CIF State Open Division title games, but the Spartans are still the leader of the pack when it comes to cumulative achievement over the past 15 seasons.

Factoring in results and schedule strength, MaxPreps partner Ned Freeman at CalPreps.com has produced a rating for every high school football team in the country.
