With competition thriving, here's our weekly take on the top high school programs in that region playing football in the fall of 2020: Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota. Also listed are the Top 20 teams in each state according to the MaxPreps Computer Rankings.
Illinois and New York will play football in 2021.
National acclaim and big-time talent. North Coast football is a force.
