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.

    • Dillard - I'm not sure that hiring a HS football coach is the same as bringing a student on board the team. I think that any school can hire any football coach that they want any time they want. They can even hire a football coach that is currently coaching at another school. Where did you find that it's illegal? 
    • IMO the FHSAA should simply return to the previous rules that if a student transfers from one school district to another they would be allowed to in accordance with Florida law. However, that student could only transfer for academic reasons and would have to remain out of sports for the first full season of that particular sport. As I understand it, when the Florida Legislature passed the law that allowed students to transfer anywhere and at anytime they had academics in mind. It was a law that allowed students to transfer from a poor performing school academically to a good performing school academically and not for the explicit purpose of playing a game. I wonder if the Florida Legislature fully understands what happens when students are allowed to transfer explicitly for sports and how some of those transfers seriously disturb the natural flow of events with the sports team of those schools. To make matters worse they are now proposing that some high school students, that just happen to be good at playing a game, be paid for their participation. Truly amazing.
    • In the words of Chris Rainey... 
    • Independent contractors....   What will go wrong with this?
    • 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.
