USA TODAY High School Sports All-Super 25 selections for 2023 season

The standout athletes on offense and defense for each team in the final Super 25.

The high school football season came to an end in December 2023, with Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, Nev.) taking the national champion nod atop the USA TODAY Sports Super 25.

Overall, it was one of the tightest races to the championship crown in recent Super 25 history, with a handful of top-tier teams making a case for supremacy. And throughout the action, standout athletes headlined the season that was packed with upsets, close calls, and statement wins.

As the High School Sports staff closes another chapter on the storied franchise that began in 1982, we’re looking back at the final 25 and highlighting two players—one on offense and one on defense—who stood out this season.

Here are the All-Super 25 selections…

Final 2023 USA TODAY High School Sports Super 25 football rankings: Bishop Gorman adds 4th national champ title

The final Super 25 showcases one of the closest races in recent years.

For the first time since 2016, Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, Nev.) stands atop the Super 25 rankings, marking the program’s fourth title.

Like last year, it was a close race down the stretch, with Chaminade-Madonna (Hollywood, Calif.), Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) and DeSoto (Texas) making a case for consideration. 

To that, the teams that just missed the top 25 were probably the most reviewed in recent years, with five shining above the rest.

But after much conversation and consideration, the 25 teams below earned a spot in the final 2023 rundown.

As we close another chapter of the USA TODAY Sports Super 25 football rankings, we congratulate all the teams that appeared this season. That’s an incredible achievement when considering the massive scope of high school football.

No. 6 North Shore head coach Willie Gaston on state championship with No. 10 Duncanville: ‘This is a heavyweight fight’

No. 6 North Shore is set to face No. 10 Duncanville on Saturday.

There is a big on Saturday in Texas with two teams in the USA TODAY Sports HSS Super 25 squaring off for a state championship.

AT&T Stadium in Dallas will be the venue as No. 6 North Shore (Houston, Texas) plays No. 10 Duncanville (Duncanville, Texas).

Willie Gaston, in his first year as head coach of North Shore, has his team playing at a high level and peaking coming into the playoffs. Last week, they had a 23-14 win over previously undefeated Westlake (Austin, Texas).

“We have to make sure we come out, keep this game close and then play this game with all three phases from offense, defense and special teams,” Gaston told FOX 26 in Houston this week.

“It’s going to be one of those games that is a heavyweight fight battle. Our biggest thing is to give ourselves the opportunity at the end to win it.”

The 6A Division I game will be streamed on Bally Sports Southwest beginning at 3 p.m. local time.

Gaston is a former NFL player with the Baltimore Ravens. He played his college football at Houston. Earlier this week, the Touchdown Club of Houston named Gaston one of two UIL Coaches of the Year.

“It is a great award, it is a great accomplishment,” Gaston said on FOX 26.

“Like I said last night, when you get an award like that, it’s a program award, it’s an award for the whole program. It’s a testimony to what these kids have done, what the coaches have done.”

The game between North Shore and Duncanville will be streamed by Bally Sports Southwest at 3 p.m.
