Video: Caden Prieskorn's highlights Muskegon High School
See the St. Mary Prep quarterback in action for Michigan's most dominant program since 2006.

St. Mary Prep has been the model of consistency. Winners of four D3 state titles since MaxPreps became your source for high school sports in 2006 — and runners-up in four more —  the Eaglets are seemingly always in the mix. St. Mary Prep has won state titles in the past three seasons and lay claim to Michigan's most dominant football program since 2006.

Muskegon, with two state titles and three runner-up finishes, comes in as Michigan's second-most dominant team.

Here is how the points break down:

1. 20 for a state title



2. 10 for state championship game appearance

3. Other points are based on where a team finished in the final MaxPreps Michigan Football Computer Rankings presented by the Army National Guard. For example, if a team finished No. 1 overall, it would receive 25 points. If it finished 25th overall, the team would get one point. No points are awarded if the team did not finish in the Top 25.
