St. Joseph's Prep (Philadelphia) has been the best team in Pennsylvania for the past three years and the Hawks are well represented on the 2020 MaxPreps All-State high school football team. With a 27-0 record against in-state opponents since 2018, St. Joseph's Prep has won three consecutive 6A state championships.
The Hawks lead the way with eight All-State selections, including six first-team picks.
Pine-Richland (Gibsonia), this season's 5A champs, has the second-most selections with four, including two first-team picks.
In total, 32 different schools have at least one player featured and nine had multiple selections.
The Keystone State had certain areas that were not able to play this year while some played anywhere from five to 12 games so selecting the all-state team features some players who played in less games in 2020.
