Week 5 of the 2024 Massachusetts high school football season has come and gone, and it didn't bring much change in the rankings as several of the top teams enjoyed the week off before returning to action this weekend.

As we prepare for Week 6, here’s the complete breakdown of the elite Massachusetts high school football teams, as we see them.

1. St. John's Prep (4-0)

The state's top team was off last week and the Eagles hit the road to face the 1-2 St. John's Pioneers on Saturday morning.

2. King Phillip Regional (4-0)

King Phillip was also off last week. The Warriors return to action with a road game at Sharon on Thursday night.

3. Williston Northampton (4-0)

The Wildcats joined the 4-0 club with a 35-20 win over the Salisbury School. They are off this week.

5. Needham (5-0)
