The Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Sun are teaming up for the fifth consecutive season of Ravens RISE High School Football Showdown games. This year’s contest includes more schools, giveaways, Ravens players and game-day entertainment than ever before.
To determine this year’s Showdown hosts, we’ve placed 80 Maryland high schools into five brackets based on geography. If your school gets more votes than the school it’s matched up against, it moves on to the next round. The last school standing in each bracket will be awarded an opportunity to host a Showdown this fall.
