It’s that time of the year, everyone. High school football games kicked off throughout the state of West Virginia Oct. 24-26 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 10 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 lived up to the hype. Spring Mills only losing 17-12 keeps them firmly at No. 2.

First team out of AAA in our rankings continues to be Bridgeport, with the Indians cruising to a 57-7 rout of Preston a couple weeks ago.

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, it has been 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 52-0 win over Riverside last week.

The Timberwolves have bounced back from a loss to Huntington with consecutive victories over Capital and Woodrow Wilson. Next up is a tilt with South Charleston.

Wheeling Park remains in the top 10 after a 34-14 loss to Fairmont Senior a couple weeks ago. They have responded with wins against Butler and Talawanda, respectively.

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 four in a row with the latest win being a 54-27 win over Musselman.

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. George Washington has a tough meeting with Hurricane this week.

Hoover continued its undefeated ways by routing Elkins 56-7 last week. Can this team run the table to an undefeated season?

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 eight games, the Falcons are averaging a staggering 43.7 points per game. Impressive numbers so far this season for this talented offensive group.

We really like the Wildcats’ offense and the play of their quarterback Josh Moody, who has thrown for over 2,000 yards, 22-plus touchdowns and just five interceptions.

The Yellow Jackets dropped their first game of the season, losing 27-7 to Frankport. Since then, Williamstown has won seven straight contests.

The Flying Eagles made their debut into the rankings a couple weeks after they cruised to a 43-7 victory. Woodrow Wilson last two losses have come against the state’s best in Princeton and Spring Valley.

Among one of the top teams in Class AA, Roane County continues to make their way up the rankings after a 42-8 shellacking of Mingo Central.

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. Now they have Summers County coming up on Nov. 8th.

Morgantown moves up from the bottom spot after defeating a solid Parkersburg team 28-14 last week. They followed that performance up with a 45-7 win over Hedgesville.

The Patriots have dropped two in a row after a 28-14 loss to Morgantown until beating Linsly, 35-28. 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’s rushing attack 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 through the air.
