The 2025 Wisconsin high school football season is entering the final weeks as the playoffs looms large just ahead and teams are still jockeying for positioning.

Arrowhead Warhawks are the No. 1 team in Wisconsin once again as they’ve held strong at the top spot, despite coming off a narrow 21-20 win over No. 7 Hamilton last week. From powerhouse programs with rich traditions to promising underdogs looking to make a statement, here are the Top 25 teams in Wisconsin, according to Massey.

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.

Here is the latest Wisconsin high school football Top 25 rankings, according to Massey as of Oct. 13.

1. Arrowhead Warhawks

Arrowhead Warhawks (7-1) entered the 2025 season looking to win their first state crown since 2013 and have started off fast with six wins this season. The Warhawks had one of their toughest battles of the season last week, barely beating No. 7 Hamilton (6-1), 21-20.

Jacob Siner (81 carries, 723 yards) has been the driving force behind Arrowhead’s offense this season and along with fellow back Jebari Craig Jr. (373 yards). Arrowhead starting signal caller Nolan Hanson (66 of 108 passes, 854 yards) has been steady with wide receivers Logan Crowley (19 catches, 267 yards) and Ryan Heiman (18 catches, 252 yards) leading the way.

The Warhawks will look to close out the regular season in fashion when they travel to face Kettle Moraine.

2. Muskego Warriors

The Muskego Warriors (7-1) started off last season with a 3-3 record before going the rest of the way 6-2, with Muskego losing to Bay Port, 25-18, in the Division I state championship.

Muskego is off to a much better start and just recently upended top-ranked Arrowhead, 21-17, a couple weeks ago. The Warriors have been playing very well defensively, allowing just 86 points this fall through eight games. Muskego rolled to a 41-10 victory over Oconomowoc (4-3) this past Friday night and closes out the regular season against Mukwonago on the road.

3. Franklin Sabers

Aside from the season opening 23-20 win over Catholic Memorial, the Franklin Sabers (7-0) have been otherwise dominant, especially defensively, through the opening few weeks of the season. The Sabers had themselves a little bit of a scare last week when they narrowly defeated Indian Trail Academy (2-5), 24-17.

What usually hasn’t been a problem is for Franklin is scoring and stopping opponents, as the Sabers are averaging around 40 points per game and holding opposing offenses to less than 10 a contest. There’s a real chance that Franklin could run the table undefeated the rest of the way.

Franklin takes aim at winning its ninth contest of 2025 when they take on Horlick in the regular season finale at home.

4. Neenah Rockets

Neenah (6-1) remains in the Top 5 of the rankings for the second straight week after a 31-29 win over Fond Du Lac last week.

The Rockets offense has been a steady group that’s currently averaging a cool 26 points per game this season. Neenah’s lone loss of the season was a 16-13 decision to top-ranked Arrowhead and will set their sights on a eighth win when they face off against Hortonville (1-7) on the road come Friday night.

5. West De Pere Phantoms

Jumping up to the fifth spot in this week’s rankings is West De Pere (9-0) after they won a shootout over Bay Port, 48-45.

The Phantoms are currently averaging 44.3 points per game this season behind the play of quarterback senior quarterback Patrick Greisen, who has completed 127 of 185 passes (68 percent) for 1,890 yards and 23 touchdowns. Ryan Lutz is leading the ground game for West De Pere, with senior tailback rushing for 974 yards on 134 carries and 16 touchdowns.

West De Pere is back at home this week against West.
