The high school boys/girls basketball seasons are still ongoing, but just on the horizon are spring sports. Another that stands out during the spring months is high school girls flag football, with there being many great teams all around the country ready to break out the cleats and gloves as the fastest growing sport in the land.
Topping the rankings to start off the 2026 preseason for high school girls flag football season are Florida’s Alonso Ravens, which went 20-2 last season and won Florida’s FHSAA Class 4A state championship a year ago. The Ravens return a bevy of starters from last year’s crew and look to top the rankings. Which other teams join Alonso and others in our first-ever Rivals High School Top 25 Girls Flag Football Rankings?
We dive in to the best high school girls flag football teams around the country and give you our take on which teams stay in the conversation.
1. Alonso Ravens (Fla.) (0-0)
The No. 1 team in the land are the Alonso Ravens (0-0) of Tampa after winning the program’s fourth state title when they defeated Wellington in overtime for the Class 4A state championship. Notching the program’s fourth state championship was arguably the toughest one yet for head coach Matt Hernandez and crew. Scary thing for opponents is the Ravens bring a ton of talent back to the roster as quarterback Gabby Werr (4,789 yards, 71 touchdowns) and wide receiver Shea Plantz (1,137 yards, 18 touchdowns). After going 20-2 last season, it’s hard to argue that Alonso isn’t the best team in the country.
2. JSerra Catholic Lions (Calif.) (28-0)
The top high school girls flag football team out of the state of California for the 2025-26 season was the JSerra Catholic Lions (28-0) as they finished undefeated and won the CIF Southern Section Division I championship by upending Orange Lutheran, 25-20. What was unique about how the Lions succeeded offensively was the play of their two-quarterback system of freshman Kate Meier (3,729 yards, 58 touchdowns) and sophomore Ava Van Heerde (3,460 yards, 44 touchdowns). With the young roster JSerra Catholic has, expect this group to be very good once again next season as well.
3. Orange Lutheran Lancers (Calif.) (24-3)
When you have the first-ever quarterback to be offered a Division I, Power 4 offer, you definitely are in the conversation for best team in the country. The Orange Lutheran Lancers (24-3) came up just short of winning the CIF Southern Section Division I championship, falling to JSerra Catholic in a 25-20 contest. Head coach Kristin Sherman features junior signal caller Makena Cook, who received the sport’s first Division I P4 overture from Nebraska last week. Cook ended the 2025 campaign throwing for an eye-popping 7,083 yards and 112 touchdowns for the Lancers.
4. Robinson Knights (Fla.) (0-0)
Of the two losses that top-ranked Alonso had from the 2025 season, one was to Robinson, an 18-0 regular season loss. The Knights team played as good as anyone through the postseason as they dominated en route to easily knocked off Choctawhatchee, 41-0, winning the program’s 10th state title. Senior athlete Jasmyn Mitchner is a force on both sides of the ball for the Knights as she notched over 700 total yards of offense and scored 11 total touchdowns. Robinson opens the 2026 season against Lennard.
5. Phenix City Central Red Devils (Ala.) (20-0)
Last but not least out of the Top 5 in the country are the Phenix City Central Red Devils, which ended up winning Alabama’s Class 6A/7A state championship in dominating fashion. To tell you how dominant this Red Devils team was throughout the season, Central out-scored opponents 840-39 en route to blowing out Vestavia Hills, 46-7, for the state crown. A lot rode on the right arm of senior quarterback Mariah Harrison, who threw for 3,941 yards and 80 touchdowns.
