Final 2016-17 MaxPreps Cup standings: St. Thomas Aquinas wins the title

2017 Early Contenders: No. 5 St. Thomas Aquinas
Watch a preview of the 2016 MaxPreps Cup champion Raiders as they prepare for the 2017 football season.

St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) has been a perennial winner of the Sunshine Cup, honoring the top all-around sports programs in the state of Florida. Now the Raiders have gone national, winning the MaxPreps Cup for the 2016-17 school year.

The MaxPreps Cup annually honors the top all-around high school sports programs in the nation. While St. Thomas Aquinas has regularly been near the top of the MaxPreps Cup rankings, the Raiders took the top spot this year by winning state titles in football, boys lacrosse, boys cross country, girls soccer and girls volleyball.

They were also ranked in the top 25 in national rankings in football, boys lacrosse and girls volleyball. St. Thomas Aquinas also finished second in the state in girls track and girls lacrosse.

The Raiders finished 16 points (930-914) ahead of Hawaii powerhouse Punahou (Honolulu), which won a national-best nine state titles and also had four second-place finishes.

Two-time champion Bentonville finished in third place with 907 points and eight state titles. Bentonville (Ark.) won the MaxPreps Cup in 2013-14 and 2014-15.

Hoover (Ala.), which won five state championships, comes in at No. 4 with 834 points while La Cueva (Albuquerque, N.M.) comes in at No. 5 with 826 points.

Oxford (Miss.) is the top medium-sized school, coming in at No. 7 overall with 819 points. The Chargers won seven state titles at the 5A level in Mississippi.

Walker Governor's (Richmond, Va.) is the top small program. The Virginia school comes in at No. 14 overall with 732 points. Walker Governor's won nine state titles at the 2A level this year.

The MaxPreps Cup standings are determined by awarding points for teams that win a state title or finish second. Points are also given to teams that finish first or second at the group or sectional level for states that do not have state championships. Points are also given depending on the type of sport, the size of state and the enrollment size of the playoff division. Teams can also earn points for appearing in national rankings.
