Lake Mary, Circle atop a tight pack

Dennis Burchill, head coach of No. 1 Lake Mary in the first Sentinel Super Six girls golf ranking of the 2018 season, said it best: “On any given day, any one of these teams could win against the others.”

We’re guessing that means these rankings will change multiple times between now and the end of the season.

Reigning Class 1A state champ Circle Christian is on top of the area boys rankings. But the Centurions will have to go without reigning area player of the year Canon Claycomb next week due to his participation at the Junior Ryder Cup being held in France.
