Class 7A Top 10
1. St. Thomas Aquinas, 2-0, 1
Week 2: Defeated Miramar, 48-18
This Week: at Plantation
Comment: After what some thought could be a competitive game against Miramar, St. Thomas Aquinas ran away with this game with the largest margin of victory since the 49-2 drubbing the Raiders put on the Patriots in 2008.
2. Oakleaf, 2-0, 2
Week 2: Defeated Orange Park, 44-7
This Week: at Wayne County, Ga.
Comment: After a slow 21-0 start against Westside Week 1, Oakleaf came through in Week 2 and blew out rival Orange Park in dominating fashion. Will now travel up to Wayne County, Ga., this week to try to get win No. 3 on the season.
3. Lakeland, 2-0, 3
Week 2: Defeated Auburndale, 35-6
This Week: vs. Miami Carol City at Bryant Stadium.
Comment: Struggled to get going early against Auburndale, but finally got things going later on in the game. However, a slow start later on in the season could cost the Dreadnaughts, especially if it happens when the play Winter Haven in district play in Week 8.
4. Dwyer, 1-0, 4
Week 2: Idle
This Week: at Palm Beach Central
Comment: The Panthers had an early bye week this year, but at least they will be well rested for what will likely be a frustrated Palm Beach Central team could dish out this week.
5. Braden River, 2-0, 5
Week 2: Defeated Southeast, 35-3
This Week: at Ida Baker
Comment: Easily rolled by rival Southeast in a 35-3 rout. The Pirates will travel south this week to take on a good challenger in Cape Coral Ida Baker. Just to note, Braden River has only given up three points so far in the first two games.
6. Venice, 2-0, 6
Week 2: Defeated Cardinal Mooney, 41-0
This Week: vs. Riverview (Sarasota)
Comment: Venice has only given up 8 points so far in the first two games and easily rolled by Cardinal Mooney last week to move to 2-0 on the season. This week Sarasota Riverview comes to town and it should possibly be another easy win fo the Indians.
7. Plant, 1-1, 8
Week 2: Defeated Hillsborough, 35-14
This Week: vs. Robinson
Comment: The Panthers were able to bounce back quickly after the blowing lost to Colquitt County, Ga., the week before. Plant will face rival Robinson this week and it could either be an easy win or a tough hard earned victory depending on how Robinson plays.
8. South Fort Myers, 2-0, 9
Week 2: Defeated Cape Coral, 50-19
This Week: at Lehigh
Comment: The Wolfpack easily ran through Cape Coral last week and is now on a great start for the 2015 season despite being down a couple of players. Should have an easy time with Lehigh this week.
9. Winter Haven, 2-0, NR
Week 2: Defeated Lake Gibson, 41-13
This Week: at Ridge Community
Comment: The Blue Devils stunned the Lake Gibson Braves, rolling by what was perceived as one of the Top 10 teams in Class 6A during the preseason. The Blue Devils should have it easy this week against Ridge Community before returning home next week to face Kissimmee Osceola.
10. Columbia, 2-0, 10
Week 2: Defeated Lincoln, 23-14
This Week: vs. Buchholz
Comment: Columbia has so far been 2-for-2 in its toughest schedule in years and will come home this week to face off against an undefeated Buchholz team that has steam rolled its first two competitors and only gave up 14 points in the process.
Dropped Out: No. 7 First Coast
