Tuesday, August 8, 2023 – For the third straight year, the Mountain Brook High School athletic department has been ranked as the number one athletic program in the state of Alabama by MaxPreps.

The MaxPreps Cup is a formula designed to recognize the top overall high school athletic programs in the country. Points are awarded for state championships, runner-up finishes and placement in national rankings. Point totals awarded are based on size of state, popularity of sport, size of enrollment division and number of schools in the enrollment division.

During the 2022-23 school year, Mountain Brook accumulated 1,560 MaxPreps Cup points by winning state championships in boys cross country, girls cross country, girls indoor track, boys tennis, girls tennis and girls outdoor track.* The Spartans also finished as state runners-up in football and boys basketball.

The total number of points places the Spartan athletic department as not only the top program in Alabama, but the number 19 program in the country and the number 10 program nationally among public schools.

*Mountain Brook won the duals wrestling state championship in January but that is not counted in the MaxPreps Cup.
