Washington (Miami) may not have won a national championship, as it did in 2013, but the Tornadoes are the MaxPreps Medium Schools national champions for the second year in a row.

Washington won the Florida Class 4A state championship over Bolles (Jacksonville) and then solidified its ranking with a win over Utah Class 5A state champion Bingham (South Jordan, Utah) in the Burger King State Champion Series over the weekend. Washington has also won 41 games in a row.

Buford (Ga.), which has the fourth-longest winning streak in the nation at 43 in a row, is No. 2 after winning the Georgia Class 4A state championship. American Heritage (Plantation, Fla.), the Florida Class 5A state champion, comes in at No. 3.

The rankings are based on the MaxPreps Computer Rankings. Medium-sized schools are those schools which participate in enrollment divisions generally between 1,000 and 2,000 students.
