Top high school football rivalries headline exciting multi-state weekend matchups across the country.

High school football previews cover games across several states. Undefeated Indiana rivals Brownsburg and Westfield meet after Brownsburg won their last six matchups, while unbeaten Tennessee teams Baylor and Montgomery Bell Academy also face off. In New York, 1-2 Canisius and St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute meet after tough early schedules, with the game scheduled to stream on NFHS Network. Ohio matchups include Avon-Berea-Midpark, Chardon-South, Mentor-Cleveland Heights, Bay-North Olmsted and Brookside-Columbia, with playoff, conference and offensive-matchup storylines. In California, Dinuba students are rallying before next week’s game against Exeter, and a photo report shows Carver-Montgomery’s Elijah Tarver scoring against Parker.
Although Brownsburg has won the rivalry’s last six meetings, all four matchups between the teams over the past two seasons were decided by one score, suggesting Friday’s game could be closer than their unbeaten records alone indicate.
Baylor has won 17 straight games since losing to McCallie in the 2024 state championship game. Its running back David Gabriel-Georges is averaging 187.5 rushing yards per game.
Canisius running back Elijah Kimble, who committed to Syracuse in July, had 129 rushing yards and a touchdown against Martinsburg and entered the game with 452 yards and five touchdowns in three games.
Dinuba’s game against Exeter is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff on Friday, October 2, at Dinuba High School.
The photo report describes Carver-Montgomery’s Elijah Tarver scoring a touchdown while staying off the ground after taking a hit.
