Ahead of the Fall 2022 high school esports rankings, USA TODAY High School Sports is looking back at the best esports teams since 2019 based on overall data tallied by PlayVS.
With games such as Madden NFL, Rocket League and League of Legends, PlayVS has grown to include high school students across the country, providing opportunities to be part of a team environment and even presenting the possibility of scholarships at the college level.
The esports platform is also recognized by the NFHS Network and state associations, with individual states able to crown a new official champion every season (fall and spring).
That official distinction includes tracking stats for the high school esports leagues, too, which helps highlight the best programs of all time.
Let’s take a look…
