Top 25 Pennsylvania high school football rankings (10/31/2023)

St. Joseph's Prep tops the Final SBLive Pennsylvania Power 25 for 2023

The Pennsylvania high school football regular season has come to an end, which means it is time for the final installment of the SBLive Pennsylvania Power 25.

St. Joseph's Prep went wire-to-wire in the top spot, finishing off the regular season with a 45-7 win over then-No. 10 Roman Catholic.

Meanwhile, spots two through nine remain unchanged from last week, as Imhotep Charter had a week off and Bishop McDevitt, Parkland, Aliquippa, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh Central Catholic, Downingtown East, and North Allegheny all took care of business on the field in the season's final week.

Belle Vernon finishes the season at No. 10, while McKeesport makes its debut in the rankings.
