The Massey Ratings, officially used during the BCS era, is a model that ranks sports teams by analyzing game outcomes, strength of schedule, and margin of victory.
1. Northwestern Trojans
South Carolina high school football’s best team made light work of Spartanburg. In addition to limiting the Vikings to seven points, Amarian Coleman had a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown, and Quay Mobley had a 20-yard rushing TD in the first half. Mobley added another rushing touchdown before Spartanburg put points on the board. Northwestern will aim to extend its winning streak to 16 games (dating back to last season) against Ridge View on Aug. 29.

The Foxes finished the 2024 South Carolina high school football season with a perfect 13-0 record en route to the Class AAAAA Division I state championship.
