When it comes to high school football rankings, one school has bragging rights and it's a very familiar name —
De La Salle (Concord, Calif.). The powerhouse program has finished ranked in the final MaxPreps Top 25 nine times since 2010.
The only year the Spartans finished outside the MaxPreps Top 25 was 2016, when when they went 11-2 and lost 56-33 to
St. John Bosco (Bellflower) in the CIF Open Division state championship.
Texas has had the most teams finish in the MaxPreps Top 25 with 47, followed by Florida with 43, California with 36, Georgia with 16 and Ohio with 15.
Read on for a complete breakdown of teams with the most MaxPreps Top 25 finishes since 2010.
