TOP 15 ANALYSIS – AFTER WEEK 3

THE BIG PICTURE

Celebration remains the undisputed No. 1 program in Central Florida heading into Week 4, going 3-0 this week to reach 6-0 — the only team in the top 15 to hold their position from last week. The biggest story of the week was Celebration’s 12-0 win over West Orange on Tuesday, the region’s most anticipated matchup and a result that settled the top-of-the-table question for now. Harmony and Horizon both took significant hits — Harmony drops five spots to No. 7 after losing to East Bay 33-13 on Saturday, and Horizon slips three spots to No. 6 despite going 2-0, overtaken by programs with stronger weeks. Apopka, New Smyrna Beach, and Spruce Creek all drop out of the top 15 entirely. Atlantic and Orlando Science enter the top 15 as new entries, and Windermere returns after going 1-2 — a complicated reentry. Deltona continues its rise, jumping five more spots to No. 5 at 5-0.

No. 1 Celebration — Storm Go 3-0 Including Statement Win Over West Orange to Hold at the Top

Celebration answered every question asked of them this past week. The Storm beat West Orange 12-0 on Tuesday in the region’s most significant matchup — a head-to-head against the program that had delivered the region’s signature result the week before by beating Timber Creek. Then they beat Ocoee 47-2 on Thursday and closed the week with a 54-0 demolition of Sebring on Friday. Three games, three wins, zero points allowed in two of three. Celebration is 6-0 and has not trailed in a game this season. The 12-0 shutout of West Orange is the most important result produced by any Central Florida program this week — it was not a close game, and West Orange entered it unbeaten and playing some of the best football in the region. Their SOS of 22.98 ranks solidly in the upper tier of all Florida programs. Celebration is the class of Central Florida and nothing from this week changed that

No. 2 Oviedo — Lions Move Up Two Spots to No. 2 at 5-0 After Another Dominant Week

Oviedo went 2-0 this week — beating Winter Springs 27-0 on Tuesday and Boone 27-0 on Thursday — to move to 5-0 and claim the No. 2 spot in the region. The Lions have not allowed a single point in five games this season. Five games, five wins, zero points against — the cleanest defensive record of any program in the Central Florida top 15. The Boone win is the more meaningful of the two: Boone had been one of the more active and competitive programs in the Orlando area through the first two weeks. Oviedo shut them out 27-0. Their SOS of 11.70 reflects competition that is solidly middle-tier across the state. The Lions move up two spots and are now the region’s premier unbeaten program behind Celebration.

No. 3 West Orange — Warriors Move Up Two Spots Despite Loss to Celebration, Go 2-1 on the Week

West Orange had a complicated week — losing to Celebration 12-0 on Tuesday before responding with a 33-6 win over Wekiva on Thursday and a 34-0 shutout of Windermere on Friday. The Celebration loss stings but the response was immediate and convincing. A 33-6 win over Wekiva — a program that had been 4-0 and rising fast in the statewide rankings — is a result that carries genuine weight. The Warriors are 5-1 and move up two spots to No. 3, a reflection of their overall body of work holding up despite the loss. Their SOS of 23.91 remains one of the strongest marks in the top 15. West Orange has the most validated resume of any program below Celebration in the Central Florida region.
