2010 HSFB100 Rankings

This is a reproduction of the 2010 RivalsHigh 100 high school football rankings.

The original rankings were compiled by Dallas Jackson and can be found at this link with additional rankings broken down by state.

4	De La Salle	Concord	CA	14-0	12

7	Pearland	Pearland	TX	16-0	37
	Texas Class 5A Division I State Champion: Not enough respect was paid to Pearland (which was the No. 44 team in the Texas preseason rankings) until it had to beat Katy and Trinity to win the state title. A fantastic run to the school’s first state title.
8	Trinity	Euless	TX	15-1	5
	Trinity fought hard and was on the cusp of a claim for a national title. The team was so good that Pearland only made two mistakes in the Texas 5ADI finals and it almost cost it the game. Trinity was by-far best one-loss team in the country.
9	Butler	Matthews	NC	16-0	7
	North Carolina Class 4AA State Champion: One of the best years in Butler history ended with a state title. With the number and quality of returning juniors and sophomores, there could be two more state titles very soon.

	Utah Class 5A State Champion: The Miners rolled through Utah this season. With a team loaded with Division I talent, this Bingham squad could have played with any team in any state.

16	Mullen	Denver	CO	14-0	19
	Colorado Class 5A State Champion: The Mustangs had one of the best defenses in the nation and it flexed its muscles all year, only allowing 89 total points against it.
17	Acadiana	Lafayette	LA	10-5*	22
	Louisiana Class 5A State Champion: The Wreckin’ Rams were one of the hottest teams in the country come December. It had to forfeit four games so the 10-5 record is decieving; it should be 13-1.
18	Phoebus	Hampton	VA	15-0	20
	Virginia Division V State Champion: The Phantoms used a dominating defense to take home another state title. The team only allowed 80 points all season.
19	Coppell	Coppell	TX	13-1	23

20	West Monroe	West Monroe	LA	14-1	24
	The Rebels came up just short against Acadiana in the state final, losing 21-14. The season was still a good one and the team proved to be a Top 25 team.
21	Dr. Phillips	Orlando	FL	14-1	6
	One of the most talented teams in Florida made it to the state finals before falling to Miami Central. It was still a Top 25 season for the Panthers.
22	Meridian	Meridian	MS	14-1	34
	One of the better defenses in the country was worn down by one of the best teams in the country. Meridian lost to South Panola in the Mississippi Class 6A state final.
23	Jefferson	Tampa	FL	14-0	35
	Florida Class 3A State Champion: The Dragons high-flying pass offense set plenty of Florida state records on its way to the title and a Top 25 national ranking.
24	Katy	Katy	TX	13-1	45
	Katy was oh-so-close in its loss to Pearland in the Region 3 final. With Pearland winning the state title, it boosts the stock of Katy back into the Top 25 nationally.
25	Harrison	Farmington Hills	MI	13-0	26
	Michigan Division 2 State Champion: Harrison was a latecomer onto the scene but made a solid run through the playoffs, downing Lowell in the state final, 38-28. And to settle any debate, it has a win over the Division I state winner, Lake Orion, on its resume as well.
26	Folsom	Folsom	CA	14-1	47
	California Division II Bowl Champion: Folsom was able to avenge its early season loss to Grant and then beat Serra in the Bowl game.
27	Bishop Gorman	Las Vegas	NV	13-2	36

28	Palo Alto	Palo Alto	CA	15-0	NR
	California Division I Champion: Paly helped steal a ton of respect for NorCal by defeating Corona Centennial in the mud. The team had several quality wins in the regular season and playoffs but downing the Huskies was the signature win it needed.
29	Cocoa	Cocoa	FL	14-0	38
	Florida Class 2A State Champion: Playing without its marquee player, Chevelle Buie, for the last two weeks of the season, Cocoa proved more than it did when playing with him. Consecutive wins at Madison County and against Glades Central legitimized this program.
30	Centennial	Corona	CA	14-1	13
	The Huskies fell in the Division I Bowl game in a monsoon. The offense was never able to get in sync and it cost the team a chance to argue for the best team in California.
31	Servite	Anaheim	CA	14-1	9
	After a grinding run to a Pac-5 title, the Friars came up against one of the best teams nationally in its Open Division loss to De La Salle.
32	Manatee	Bradenton	FL	13-1	43
	The Hurricane season ended with a disappointing loss in its Class 5A semifinal to St. Thomas Aquinas. Injuries derailed what could have been, but the season was still very good for a team that entered with a lot of question marks.
33	Ursuline	Youngstown	OH	15-0	29
	Ohio Division V State Champion: Led by Ohio Mr. Football Akise Teague, Ursuline won its third-straight state title.
34	Stony Point	Round Rock	TX	14-1	31

	Louisiana Class 4A State Champion: The Demons needed overtime to down Edna Karr in the state final but it got the job done. The team ends the year No. 3 in Louisiana and inside the Top 50 nationally.
36	Goose Creek	Goose Creek	SC	13-1	27

38	Mission Viejo	Mission Viejo	CA	13-1	25
	A season of promise fell short in the Pac-5 final against Servite. The Diablos had a very solid season and were rewarded with a Top 50 ranking.
39	Chaparral	Scottsdale	AZ	14-0	32
	Arizona Class 5A Division II State Champion: The Firebirds ended the year with a state title and some argument to the No. 1 spot in Arizona. With the young talent on the team, it will likely ascend to that spot to begin next season.
40	Byrnes	Duncan	SC	12-3	39
	South Carolina Class 4A Division I State Champion: Byrnes took quite a while to get healthy and get rolling. Once both of those pieces fell into place, the Rebels rolled to another state title.
41	Dorman	Roebuck	SC	14-1	40
	The Cavaliers showed a lot of grit this season, playing through injuries and adversity. It lost in the state final to its biggest rival, Byrnes.
42	Myrtle Beach	Myrtle Beach	SC	14-1	41

43	Brookwood	Snellville	GA	14-1	63
	Georgia Class AAAAA State Champion: The Peach State was not as top heavy as it has been in recent years. More very good teams stood out than usual and Brookwood proved to be the best of a good bunch.
44	Hillside	Durham	NC	16-0	50
	North Carolina Class 4A State Champion: Vad Lee and the Hornets proved to be among the best teams in the nation. It was a banner year for North Carolina football.
45	Oaks Christian	Westlake Village	CA	12-2	51
	Oaks Christian moved up its league to improve the schedule that had been the knock against it for several years. Winning its section title proved it to be a legit program and not just a beater of inferior teams.
46	Steele	Cibolo	TX	14-2	80
	Texas Class 5A Division II State Champion: Malcolm Brown led the Knights to a state title. The team began the year No. 30 in the nation and fought back from a 1-2 start to win the championship.

48	Bentonville	Bentonville	AR	13-0	44

	Michigan Division 3 State Champion: East Grand Rapids finished its season with a hard-fought victory over Orchard Lake St. Mary’s, 35-27.
50	Lake Travis	Austin	TX	13-2	74

	Injuries derailed a potential CIF Bowl game with a loss to Folsom in the section final.
52	Bishop Alemany	Mission Hills	CA	12-1	56

53	Glenville Academic Campus	Cleveland	OH	11-1	53
	The season started with promise and controversy with wins over Warren Central and Dwyer. However, the Tarblooders could not get out of the region, losing in round two to St. Edward.
54	Northwestern	Miami	FL	9-3	68
	A season of intrigue saw the team fire-then-rehire its coach, fall to Miami Central twice, lose and then avenge its loss to Miami Columbus. Whew.
55	St. Thomas More	Lafayette	LA	13-1	58
	Louisiana Class 5A was a fight to the end. St. Thomas More had a quality season with a few good wins. In the end, it ran into a buzzsaw in Acadiana.
56	Columbus	Miami	FL	11-1	83
	The Explorers were too deep of a team to leave out of the national rankings despite a first round playoff exit.
57	Greenwood	Greenwood	SC	13-2	48
	The team’s two losses were to Class 4A Division I runner-up Dorman, and in the state final to Northwestern.
58	Westlake	Westlake Village	CA	12-2	52
	Westlake had dreams of a CIF Bowl bid this season. Close losses to St. Bonaventure and Oaks Christian robbed it of those chances, but it made for a solid season nonetheless.
59	Bergen Catholic	Oradell	NJ	10-2	57
	Bergen Catholic steadily improved as the season went on under first-year head coach Nunzio Campanile. The future is bright for the squad, whose only two losses were to Don Bosco.

	The defending Ohio Division I champ lost in the state semifinals to Wayne.
61	Central	Pickerington	OH	11-1	55

62	Junipero Serra	Gardena	CA	14-1	28

63	Lincoln	Tallahassee	FL	11-4	NR
	Florida Class 4A State Champion: Lincoln rolled up early season losses while it battled injuries. Once it got healthy, it took names, including Armwood, which it defeated to win the state title.
64	Armwood	Seffner	FL	14-1	11
	The Hawks fell just short in the state final against Lincoln. The team may have lacked the focus it needed once it got past Dwyer to finish the season.
65	Dwyer	West Palm Beach	FL	12-2	17
	Dwyer had a fantastic season that ended just short as it lost in its Class 4A semifinal on a last second field goal. The ultimate goal was not accomplished, but showing that this team was resiliant enough to move past an early season officiating blunder speaks volumes.
66	Allen	Allen	TX	10-2	59
	Even in a rebuilding season, Allen gave Euless Trinity all it wanted in a second round game before falling. 2011 could be a special season with plenty of returning players that gained valuable experience.

73	North Allegheny	Wexford	PA	15-1	72

79	Alcoa	Alcoa	TN	15-0	71

80	West Point	West Point	MS	15-1	76
	Mississippi Class 5A State Champion: West Point ran the ball all the way to a title.
81	Davidson	Mobile	AL	13-2	69
	Davidson proved Alabama to have more quality depth. It made a run through the playoffs before falling to eventual state champion, Daphne. A very good team to come out of the Mobile area.
82	South Pointe	Rock Hill	SC	13-2	67
	The top college prospect in the country, Jadaveon Clowney, nearly carried the Stallions to a state title. The team’s only losses were to Myrtle Beach in the final, and to Class 4A Division II winner Northwestern to start the year.
