Marist (Atlanta) finished the season as the overall MaxPreps Cup champion for 2021, but there were 44 other schools that finished as the No. 1 team in their respective states.
California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, and New York did not have state playoffs this year so those states did not have a MaxPreps Cup champion since the formula is based on state champions and runners-up.
The MaxPreps Cup is a formula developed to identify the top high school
athletic programs in the nation using state championships and runner-up
finishes to award points. Other factors affecting the point totals
include popularity of sport, size of state, state enrollment divisions
and the number of schools in each state enrollment division. Points are
also awarded for national rankings where available.
Following is a look at each state that fielded state playoffs with the top five finishers in the MaxPreps Cup state standings with their overall rating.
