The J.H. Rose Rampants have laid claim to the number one spot in the end-of-regular-season HighSchoolOT statewide top 25 rankings.

A historic season for the Rampants that has included earning the 1,000th win in the career of their head coach Ronald Vincent and a 12-0 drubbing of archrival D.H. Conley now adds another highlight as they enter the 3A state playoffs.

Outside of Rose, the teams to take the top spots in their respective area code rankings are East Forsyth (336), Pinecrest (910), Orange (919), T.C. Roberson (828) and Providence (704).

This is the final top 25 ranking of the regular season. The next statewide top 25 rankings will be the end-of-season rankings following the conclusion of the state playoffs.
