The Hoosier State has closed in on the middle point of the high school football season and a bundle of results have shaken up the state’s Top 25 rankings.
Brownsburg has continued proving themselves as the state’s No. 1 team, especially after last week’s gritty 14-10 victory over No. 4 Westfield. Who else makes the cut when it comes to Indiana high school football teams?
The Massey Ratings, officially used during the BCS era, is a model that ranks sports teams by analyzing game outcomes, strength of schedule, and margin of victory.
Here is the latest Indiana high school football Top 25 rankings, according to Massey as of Sep. 29.
1. Brownsburg Bulldogs
The Brownsburg Bulldogs (6-0) have have remained the top team when it comes to 2025 Indiana high school football, but their resolve was tested last week as they barely got by No. 4 Westfield in a 14-10 battle.
Every victory has been impressive in their own right, with the regular season opener setting the tone that this Bulldogs team is a viable nationally ranked team in the country. Brownsburg has received stellar play on both sides of the ball, including from quarterback Oscar Fyre, who has thrown for 1,156 yards and 17 touchdowns this fall. Junior wide receiver Branden Sharpe has been Fyre’s favorite target, totaling 506 yards and seven touchdowns.
Brownsburg is back at home this week when they take on Zionsville (3-3).
2. Center Grove Trojans
The second spot in the Indiana Top 25 rankings this week remains Center Grove, which kept pace at 6-0 right behind Brownsburg.
Center Grove features a slew of Division I prospects on the team, including tight end Dominick Barry (Wake Forest commit), quarterback Oscar Sloan (740 yards, seven TDs), offensive lineman CJ Scifres (Indiana commit) and defensive stalwart Kobe Cherry (Purdue commit). Running back Nolan Rees has powered the offense with his 367 yards and six touchdowns this season.
The Trojans take on No. 10 Cathedral (4-2) this week at the friendly confines of home.
3. Carmel Greyhounds
Carmel (5-1) suffered their first loss of the season a few weeks ago after falling to Kentucky’s No. 1 team Trinity and have taken it out on the following two opponents. The Greyhounds have out-scored Columbus North and North Central to the tune of 119-21 in the last couple of weeks.
What has been more impressive is the way they are doing it as the Greyhounds are leaning heavily on their ground attack, led by running backs Andrew Pemberton (478 yards) and Ayden Johnson (244 yards). Troy commit Anthony Coellner has totaled 1,463 all-purpose yards and 20 total touchdowns through six games.
The Greyhounds look to make it three straight victories when they face a struggling Ben Davis (1-5) team this Friday night.
4. Westfield Shamrocks
Westfield (4-2) had a chance to knock off top-ranked Brownsburg last week and had the No. 1 team on their toes. The Shamrocks came up just short in a 14-10 loss to the Bulldogs, which dropped their second game of the season.
Looking to bounce back this week, Westfield has relied on its offensive front to control the line of scrimmage as they feature a pair of Division I recruits in 6-foot-6, 260-pound Malachi Mills (Kansas commit) and 6-foot-2, 280-pound Job Maverick (Ohio commit). The pair have paved the way for well over 2,000 yards of offense this season.
The Shamrocks have another tough test this week when they face No. 11 Avon (3-3).
5. New Palestine Dragons
Taking the fifth spot out of the Top 25 is the New Palestine Dragons (6-0) as they are coming off a 49-0 thrashing of Greenfield-Central (3-3) last week.
Playing some very efficient football behind center for the Dragons is senior quarterback Jacob Davis, who has completed 52 of 73 passes (71 percent) for 904 yards, 12 touchdowns and just one mere interception. Running back Caden Jacobia has played well, carrying the ball 45 times for 585 yards and six scores.
The Dragons are back in action this week against Shelbyville (3-3).
