About the National Prep Poll: Compiled weekly since 1987 and a property of World Features Syndicate, the National Prep Poll is the nation's second oldest weekly high school sports rankings. The National Prep Poll are the only high school rankings distributed to newspapers and Web sites Associated Press national wire service. The National Prep Poll is the first of the three major high school football and boys basketball polls to released each week during the season.

Doug Huff (now with Student Sports) started the National Prep Poll with 35 national panelists in 1987. Jamie DeMoney became author of the National Prep Poll in 1999.

DeMoney is a 1994 graduate of the University of Iowa School of Journalism, a member of the Football Writers Association of America, and has been involved with prep recruiting and evaluation for more than a decade.

DeMoney compiled the preseason Power 50 national and regional rankings (the very FIRST rankings to be released each season) for the 2005 and 2006 editions of the RISE/Sporting News 2005 and 2006 High School Football and High School Hoops preview magazines. RISE contributes football and basketball rankings to Sports Illustrated.

DeMoney has compiled the National Prep Poll rankings for World Features Syndicate and the Associated Press since 1999. He is former managing editor of American Football Monthly, the premier trade publication in America for football coaches. DeMoney still contributes high school content and rankings to AFM as well as American Basketball Quarterly.

USA Today Super 25 rankings originator Dave Krider proclaimed DeMoney his "right-hand man" when the two worked at All-Stater Sports magazine and HighWiredSports.com in 2000.

DeMoney is currently a full-time staff member of Forbes Recruit Evaluation. Each football season, DeMoney evaluates thousands of high school football players and teams in person and on tape while helping produce The Forbes Report, a football recruiting report to which more than 100 Division I-A schools subscribe. DeMoney has a library of more than 2,000 high school game tapes from the last two seasons. It isn't likely that any other national high school rankings compiler watches even 10 percent as much game tape of the teams he considers for rankings as DeMoney does.

DeMoney has offered his views and insight on high school sports and recruiting to a variety of media outlets over the years, including USA Today and The Dallas Morning News.

DeMoney's other credits include serving on the selection panel for the Old Spice Red Zone Player of the Year, as editor of Gridiron Greats recruiting yearbook (1995-99), Associate Editor of Hawkeye Nation magazine (2003-current), contributor to NFLHS.com and doing play-by-play high school sports for KCJJ-AM in Iowa City, Iowa, during the mid-90s.
