@EFrantzMP’s High School Football Great Lakes Region Rankings

By Eric Frantz Aug 24, 2021, 9:45am

This week's top HS football teams in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

The Great Lakes states are defined - in large - by silos, steeples and Friday night stadium lights. With kickoff having arrived, here's the first take on our annual and weekly list of the top high school football programs in the region. Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin started play last week. Illinois, Michigan and Pennsylvania kick off this week. Minnesota and New York start next week.

National acclaim and big-time talent. North Coast football is a force.
