A close battle between Alabama and Pennsylvania has been settled for the final winner of our national high school football play of the week poll.

Now it's time to choose the national Play of the Year in 2023.

The SBLive Sports staff watched a bunch of highlights throughout the high school football season and picked our top 10 plays of the week from Week 1 in August through the state championships in December.

We've taken our 17 weekly winners and compiled them into one big highlight reel.

Check out the video above and vote in the poll below to choose the best of the best in 2023.

The voting will conclude Saturday, Dec. 30, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.
