The Central Red Devils (Phenix City, Ala.) continue to hold the top spot in the latest USA TODAY Sports Super 25 girls flag football rankings, while an OT thriller between Hewitt-Trussville (Ala.) and Spain Park (Hoover, Ala.) and a big win by Moody (Ala.) over Wenonah (Birmingham, Ala.) created a shift in the Alabama teams making a push as the season nears an end.
Out west, Hamilton (Chandler, Ariz.) won the AIA 6A championship after holding off a tough Red Mountain team, finishing 2024 undefeated while securing the No. 3 spot in the rankings.
And Georgia flag football moves into the final playoff push, with McEachern (Powder Springs, Ga.) keeping a close edge as the top team in the Peach State.
Super 25 flag football selection process
In partnership with the NFL, the teams are determined by a USA TODAY Network selection committee of editors and writers in the participating states and the USA TODAY High School Sports staff.
The process considers factors ranging from last year’s results based on NFHS Network data, carryover into this season, and a primary focus on 2024 records and overall performance.
Ahead of the final release, here is the latest USA TODAY Sports Super 25 girls flag football rankings:
