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.
