Here's the link to the article, which also shows how the rankings were determined. 

[KeemD321]

Maxpreps messed up on adding up their points. They left off Cocoa's first state title

[Cocoafanone]

I saw that also.  Tried to locate email address of the writer of the article to ask him to make a correction but could not find it.

No wonder the FHSAA and maxpreps get along so well. They both are F ups.

[Manatee Magic]

STA sure didn't win a title in 2009, did they.

[Cocoafanone]

I only have two words for the FHSAA and MaxPreps:  "Get better."

 

[nolebull813]

They have Armwood’s runner ups as their championships and runner ups. Lol

Two more words: No incentive 

[Holy Moly]

Dwyer beat Niceville in 2013 for state and has them as runners up that year...

[PinellasFB]

I was surprised to see Manatee on the list.  I assumed their dominance was in the 80s and 90s.
