Palm Beach County Rankings courtesy of Wells Dusenbury and the SunSentinel:

 

Oxbridge and Dwyer maintained their hold on the top two spots after shutout wins this past week.

Meanwhile, Pahokee proved it's for real, knocking off previously unbeaten Boca Raton. On the flip side, American Heritage-Delray and Olympic Heights dropped out of the poll following tough losses.

1. (1) Oxbridge Academy (6-0)

The ThunderWolves dominated in a 38-0 win over defending Class 3A state runner-up Heritage-Delray. Oxbridge's defense has held all of its opponents to single digits.

Next: Bye

2. (2) Dwyer (5-0)

After escaping with a 12-7 win over Palm Beach Gardens, the Panthers bounced back with a 48-0 win over previously unbeaten Olympic Heights. Dwyer has allowed just 10 points this season.

Next: vs. Wellington

3. (4) Pahokee (6-0)

The Blue Devils scored a major victory over unbeaten Boca Raton 17-14. With the win over the 8A Bobcats, Pahokee ( 1A) showed it can hang with the big dogs.

Next: Bye

4. (5) Park Vista (6-0)

The Cobras continued to take care of business, blanking John I. Leonard 35-0. Park Vista can put a stranglehold on the district with a win over Boca Raton this week.

Next: at Boca Raton

5. (3) Boca Raton (4-1)

The Bobcats suffered their first defeat of the season to Pahokee. Boca Raton, which played multiple quarterbacks in the loss, needs to find more consistency on offense.

Next: vs. Park Vista

6. (6) Glades Central (4-2)

The Raiders cruised against Somerset 55-0. While it's hard to take away too much from that game, Glades Central's up-and-down offense easily racked up the points, which is an encouraging sign.

Next: Bye

7. (8) Atlantic (3-2)

After falling to Park Vista two weeks ago, the Eagles responded with a 33-0 win over district foe Spanish River.

Next: vs. Santaluces

8. (9) Palm Beach Lakes (4-2)

The Rams edged Royal Palm 7-6 to stay in prime position in the district race. Still, PB Lakes will need more out of its offense if it wants to reach the playoffs.

Next: Bye

9. (NR) Palm Beach Gardens (3-3)

The Gators hammered winless Jupiter 41-9. Palm Beach Gardens has been inconsistent this season, but has plenty of talent to make a playoff run.

Next: vs. West Boca

10. (NR) Seminole Ridge (3-2)

Behind 177 rushing yards from Kristian Gonzalez, the Hawks downed Wellington to jump back into the district race. Ridge's run-dominant offense seems to be gelling.

Next: Boynton Beach

On the bubble: Olympic Heights, Boynton Beach.

Just a few subtle differences between you and the first paper. But overall, I think yours are more accurate.

    • I seriously can't remember how many times I had to do that very thing. Like Nolebull said in another discussion, the kids know kids from other schools and where the "hot hand" is. I never entertained discussions with kids or parents of kids from other schools. I know we lost some good ones because of it but I am ok with that.
    • In a single word, "no." In a lot more words, see the following: (From 2023-24 FHSAA Handbook) 36.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 36.2.1 Athletic Recruiting. “Athletic recruiting” is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school’s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.   and this . . . 36.2.2 Improper Contact. “Improper contact” is contact, either directly or indirectly, whether in person or through written or electronic communication, by a school employee, athletic department staff member, representative of the school’s athletic interests or third parties, such as an independent person, business or organization, with a student or any member of the student’s family, in an effort to pressure, urge or entice the student to attend a different school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.  See Policy 37.    In fact, if the kid contacts the coach at another school, the coach is not supposed to communicate with the kid other than to refer the kid to the person at the school responsible for admissions.    Best I can tell, there is no exception for being able to reach out to a kid who plays a sport that is not offered by the school that the kid currently attends.  Perhaps there should be . . . but then you'd really be opening Pandora's Box.   
    • So you are not allowed to talk to a kid who is not an active football player currently attending a school that doesn’t have a football team?
    • 1.  Ask around and get the kid's phone number. 2.  Call the kid.  3.  If that doesn't work, DM the kid.  4.  Once communications are established, try to convince the kid to come to your school.  There may be other ways, but I think this would be the easiest way to recruit a kid .
