“In the rich history of high school football in our country, to be ranked No. 1, it’s pretty awesome.”
For Maurice Jones-Drew, there was one topic throughout his NFL career that could always get teammates riled up and ready to argue:Jones-Drew was always arguing on behalf of his De La Salle teams, particularly the 2001 one. Now, at least one major national outlet has agreed with him.his ranking of the top 50 high school football teams of all-time“It’s awesome to hear that,” said Jones-Drew, who averaged almost 12 yards a carry and tallied 26 touchdowns as a junior for the 2001 team.

Connelly wrote that De La Salle tested his self-declared “no more than two teams from one school” list while ranking the 2003 Spartans at No. 15 and the 2001 team on top.and while it did not rank back-to-back seasons from the same school, MaxPreps had the 2003 team up as its No. 2 team overall and also the 1998 team at No. 19 and the 1994 team at No.
