2018 Close Out Top 5 Palm Beach County (Also Look Ahead)

[Mashburns]

This year in Palm Beach County we did not have one Pubic School that made it to Orlando, we did have one Private Program to make it up to Orlando who loss to a very good C.M team this year. We did have some programs in Palm Beach County that had a successful season and their programs are headed in the right direction.

Number 1 Team in Palm Beach County- Palm Beach Central they had a good run this year finishing the regular season at 9-1 and eventually loss in the Regional Finals to Deerfield Beach. Palm Beach Central lose a lot through graduation but I'm pretty sure they will load up in the "Transfer Season" so I expect them to be in the thick of things next season.

Number 2 Team in Palm Beach County- Dwyer They also finish the regular season at 9-1 and just like Palm Beach Central, Dwyer pretty much ran through the regular season (accept for week 2 ATL) they also loss a lot to graduation but Dwyer has loss talent every year and find ways to reload (Palm Beach Gardens best back transferred to Dwyer in November) and become one of the best teams in the state every season. Palm Beach 7a will be very interesting with Atlantic moving down to that classification.

Number 3 Team in Palm Beach County- Atlantic, If we are speaking of the Top 5 at the end of the regular season Atlantic will be the number 1 team. But Atlantic finish the regular season 10-0 and loss the first round of the playoffs to a Western Program that wasn't expected to play 2 quarters with Atlantic. With all the success last season Atlantic was very young and they return a lot of talent, I am very confident Atlantic will be one of the top teams in 7a next season.

Number 4 Team in Palm Beach County- Glades Central finish the regular season at 7-3, they over achieved which is something you don't hear talking about the muck programs but they wasn't expected to compete and win versus a very good Booker T Washington program. The look ahead with this program is clouded because of the uncertainty with all the coaching movements with this staff to start the off season.

Number 5 Team in Palm Beach County- Kings Academy, Kings was the only program to make it to Orlando. They was a very scrappy bunch that had some things go their way along their journey to Orlando. They are another program that loss some key pieces to their success one being their dynamic Quarterback so their 2019 outlook is very difficult especially with Trinity falling back down to the 3a classification.
