MaxPreps Top 25 high school football scores: No. 6 North Shore beats Atascocita 34-28 to advance to sixth consecutive UIL 6A Division 1 semifinal

The game of the week was in the Ohio Division II state championship as No. 12 Massillon beat No. 25 Archbishop Hoban (Akron) 7-2 in a defensive battle on Thursday at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. It was the first state title for the Tigers since the OHSAA adopted a playoff format before the 1972 season. They finished as the state runner-up in 1980, 1982, 2005, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

This was the third time these two squared off in the state championship. Hoban won 42-28 in 2018 and 35-6 in 2020. The lone touchdown came in the second quarter after a 6-yard TD run from Mylen Lenix. The Knights only points came on a safety with just under two minutes left in the first half.

Hoban was driving late in the fourth quarter but after an errant snap on 3rd and 1 at the Massillon 10, it forced a 4th and 8. Tylan Boykin's pass fell incomplete in the endzone for Jackson Callaway and the Tigers took two kneel downs to clinch their first OHSAA state title. 

The Chaparrals took down their district rival Lake Travis (Austin, Texas), 21-14. The Mustangs snapped Westlake's 54-game win streak with a 49-34 victory in last year's 6A Division 1 semifinals.The Chaparrals have gone 68-1 over their last 69 games.

No. 8 Walton (Marietta) punched its ticket to the Georgia AAAAAAA championship with a 41-25 win over Camden County (Kingsland). Senior quarterback Jeremy Hecklinski threw for six touchdowns giving him 48 on the season. They will face Milton in the AAAAAAA state championship on Dec. 13 at Mercedes Benz-Stadium.

The Eagles took down No. 17 Grayson (Loganville) 45-35 in the other semifinal.

No. 19 St. Edward (Lakewood, Ohio) became the first school in the state to win three consecutive Division I state titles since 1995 when St. Ignatius (Cleveland) won five in a row from 1991-95. They beat Springfield 31-21. Sophomore running back Brandon White led the way on offense with 32 carries for 235 yards and three touchdowns.

The biggest upset of the week came in Florida's 2M semifinals as Berkeley Prep (Tampa) stunned No. 15 American Heritage (Plantation) 17-14 to advance to the state championship game. They will face No. 11 Norland (Miami) on Dec. 7 at Florida A&M University.

The Vikings improved to 14-0 with a 28-7 win over Bolles (Jacksonville) in the other semifinal.

No. 18 Liberty (Peoria, Ariz.) beat Centennial (Peoria, Ariz.) 33-21 in the Open Division state championship on Saturday.
