Top-Ten Rankings

Football Alberta returns with weekly high school rankings

Sep 8, 2021 | 3:33 PM

Football Alberta has returned with its weekly high school football rankings.

This includes the Weekly Top-10 Rankings for all four tiers of 12-man high school football in Alberta and the six-man rankings as well for the 2021 season.

Officials say these rankings will come out every Sunday from now until November 7. At that time, those will be the last rankings and teams will take this rank into Provincials.

The teams are slotted into tiers based on their estimated school size, which may change once official counts are known at the end of September. Please note that games vs. US opponents, scrimmages, or tournaments are not taken into consideration for ranking or listed in the overall record of the schools.

Should you have any questions about the rankings or listed teams, please contact Football Alberta at (780) 427-8108 or visit www.footballalberta.ab.ca.
