Top 25 West Virginia high school football rankings (10/24/2024)
It’s that time of the year, everyone. High school football games kicked off throughout the state of West Virginia Oct. 17-19 and there was plenty of great action taking place.
The No. 1 team in the Mountain State continues to be powerhouse Martinsburg then followed by Spring Mills followed by Bridgeport and Fairmont Senior.
Here’s the complete breakdown of West Virginia’s elite high school football teams, heading into Week 9 of the 2024 season, as we see it.
Hard to argue with this one. The Bulldogs have shut out three of the seven opponents they’ve faced this season, only yielding 56 points so far. Not much of an argument to be had here when it comes to Martinsburg at No. 1.
The other team in the City of Martinsburg is playing pretty well all season long and the biggest game of the year takes place this week when they clash with the Bulldogs (see above).
First team out of AAA in our rankings continues to be Bridgeport, with the Indians cruising to a 57-7 rout of Preston last week.
Polar Bears’ quarterback Brody Whitehair has been very efficient this season, completing 92-of-128 passes for 1,838 yards and 21 touchdowns.
Only loss this season came at the hands of No. 1 Martinsburg. Other than that, pure domination by Huntington this fall.
Chance Barker has looked great under center for Princeton, completing 74-of-104 passes for 1,436 yards, 20 touchdowns and just two interceptions. The quarterback has been one of the state’s best.
The Redskins looked a lot more like their dominant selves when they rolled to a 63-28 rout of Capital a couple weeks ago.
The Timberwolves bounced back from a loss to Huntington with a 53-26 victory over Woodrow Wilson.
Wheeling Park remains in the top 10 after a 34-14 loss to Fairmont Senior last week. They bounced back against Butler with a 47-20 win last week.
We look at the losses that Jefferson has had this season and don’t want t drop these guys too far down the ranks. Latest one is a 42-12 decision to Martinsburg. The Cougars have won three in a row with the latest win being a 48-26 win over Millbrook.
The Patriots have been riding the legs of running back Saiyvon Brown, who has rushed for over 1,039 yards and nine touchdowns this fall.
Hoover continued its undefeated ways by routing Ripley 56-28 last week.
Connor Lambert has been a scoring machine for the White Falcons, scoring 28 touchdowns and rushing for 1,396 yards on 76 carries through eight games.
Over the first six games, the Falcons are averaging a staggering 42.5 points per game. Impressive numbers so far this season for this talented group.
We really like the Wildcats’ offense and the play of their quarterback Josh Moody, who has thrown for 2,046 yards, 22 touchdowns and five interceptions.
The Yellow Jackets dropped their first game of the season, losing 27-7 to Frankport.
The Flying Eagles made their debut into the rankings a couple weeks after they cruised to a 43-7 victory. Woodrow Wilson dropped their second game of the season to Princeton, 14-7.
Among one of the top teams in Class AA, Roane County continues to make their way up the rankings after a 55-6 shellacking of Logan.
The Red Devils make their debut on this list after they defeated Independence 21-20 a few weeks ago.
The Patriots only two losses on the season have come to teams on this list in Princeton and Oak Hill, respectively.
Morgantown moves up from the bottom spot after defeating a solid Parkersburg team 28-14 last week.
The Patriots have dropped two in a row after a 28-14 loss to Morgantown. Last two games are doozies against Princeton and Spring Mills.
The Mountain Lions have leaned on the stellar play of running back Jared Reall, who has rushed for 1,276 yards and scored 24 touchdowns.
Isaac Martin has led the way on the ground for the season, leading the team with 822 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Bulldogs’ quarterback Brysen Dixon has been sensational this season, throwing for 1,070 yards, 16 touchdowns and just one mere interception.

CLENDENIN, W.Va . (WSAZ) – Gov. Patrick Morrisey visited Clendenin West Virginia Saturday during Summerfest.
10 years ago a devastating flood swept through the community.
The governor announced $450,000 of funding for a Streetscape project during a commemoration for the June 2016 flood. The funding will go toward Clendenin’s main street – improving sidewalks, landscaping, and other pedestrian amenities.
Funding for the project comes from the Transportation Alternatives Program – a federal initiative to fund smaller scale transportation projects.

It was a phenomenal year for the West Virginia Mountaineers on the diamond, and even with the season having been over for over a week now, the honors continue to roll in.
On Friday, second baseman/catcher Gavin Kelly and left-handed starting pitcher Maxx Yehl were both named First-Team All-Americans by D1Baseball.com. It is the first time in program history that two Mountaineers have been recognized as First-Team All-Americans in the same season.
Gavin Kelly
Kelly was essentially everyone’s pick to have a breakout season for the Mountaineers in 2026, but I’m not sure anyone expected him to do it the way he did. He hit nearly .400 all year and went on a power surge out of nowhere toward the end of the season, becoming one of the top home run hitters in the country over the last month or so of the year.
Kelly was named a Golden Spikes Award semifinalist, the MVP of the Morgantown Regional, and is currently participating in the Team USA Collegiate National Team training camp in Cary, North Carolina. For the year, he hit .382 with 19 home runs and 63 RBI, cementing himself as a top draft prospect in 2027.
Maxx Yehl
Maxx Yehl was one of the best stories in all of college baseball that didn’t get talked about nearly enough. He was forced to sit out the 2025 season as he was recovering from Tommy John surgery, and prior to this season, Yehl worked exclusively out of the bullpen. The plan all along was to eventually stretch him out into a starter, and in his first year in the role, he was one of the best in the entire country.
Steve Sabins and Co. did a good job of playing it safe with him early, letting him only go two and four innings in his first two starts before turning him loose. There were a couple of moments where Mountaineer fans had to take a deep breath after he was removed from two starts, one of which was in the Morgantown Regional against Kentucky. He bounced back strong and two days later, pitched a gem against the Wildcats, helping the team advance to the super regionals for the third straight season.
Yehl finished the season with a 9-3 record, an ERA of 2.13, and 112 strikeouts to just 26 walks. He was also the first WVU hurler to win Big 12 Pitcher of the Year since Alek Manoah, who did it in 2019.
