Each week of the High School Football season, we rank every single team and evaluate every game that is played. This process is done by watching coaches’ films, streamed games, reading media reports, studying and comparing statistics, conversations with coaches, and of course decades of experience in knowing teams, regions, and coaching styles. While we do publish our Top-25 Rankings every Wednesday, this is our opportunity to showcase where other solid football teams are ranked and shed light on their programs. As always, it is harder to gauge every team so early on in the season, and our rankings and weekly projections will become more accurate with each passing week.
Here are this week’s CarolinaPreps.com Extended Football Rankings where rank the top 75 teams in 4A through 2A and the top 50 teams in 1A.
