Wekiva returns to top spot
A wild week of high school football caused a stir in the Sentinel Super 16 rankings.
Wekiva’s 35-0 win over visiting Apopka in Week 10, coupled with Hagerty’s 31-15 upset over previouslyunbeaten Edgewater, helped the Mustangs return to the No. 1 spot. Wekiva started the season as the top-ranked team in the area before losing to West Orange four weeks ago.
Edgewater falls four spots from No. 1 to No. 5, while Apopka is down two spots to No. 9.
Hagerty returns to the rankings this week at No. 13. The Huskies are followed at No. 14 by Liberty, which joins the Super 16 for the first time after winning 62-28 at Lake Nona. Lake Nona and Groveland South Lake, which lost 63-17 at home to Gainesville, dropped out of the rankings entering the final week of the regular season.
The Super 16 consists of teams in Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake and southwest Volusia counties. Team record and upcoming opponents are included in rankings with last week’s ranking, if different, noted in parentheses. (4-5).
