Week one of the Florida high school football season is upon us and we find out just how good teams are over the next few weeks. To start things off, we give you our top 25 teams in the state and others on the outside looking in.
The rankings were produced based on players that were acquired in the offseason, players departures, last season’s finish, player ratings, and some preseason action. Rankings are produced by the entire Football Hotbed staff. Of course, this is an inexact science that will give viewers an idea of what teams are projected to do well this season. Every week these rankings will be re-evaluated based on results. Next week see our top performers from week 1 added to rankings. Happy Football!
