The Great Lakes states are defined -
in large - by silos, steeples and Friday night stadium lights. With
kickoff coming this week, here's our preseason take on our annual and weekly list of
the top high school football programs in the region. Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin start play this week. Illinois, Michigan
and Pennsylvania kick off next week. Minnesota and New York start the following
week.
National acclaim and big-time talent. North Coast football is a force.
