Bishop Gorman is widely regarded as the best high school football team in the country.

He announced on Sunday evening via Twitter that he was officially committing to “The” Ohio State University and joining Urban Meyer’s already #1 ranked 2017 recruiting class. Martell joins a quarterback staff that has been proven to produce top-level talent at the college level.
Cedar Hill had a disappointing end to last year losing in the first round of the state playoffs to Southlake Carroll. They took an impressive 9-1 record going into the playoffs, but lost a tough battle that came down to a late turnover and were eliminated in the first round, 37-33.
Cedar Hill quarterback Avery Davis also holds claim to being one of the best in the country and his statistics back him up. Davis had 2,900 all-purpose yards last season, 1,900 by air and nearly 1,000 on the ground. He also threw 22 touchdowns and rushed for 13 more. Davis was sought after by many different schools, but ultimately decided to attend Notre Dame.
