SWEET 16: 10/31/17
Another week and our rankings stay pretty tight without much change. That is a big reason why we don’t post our initial ranking until mid season. By that time, we know a good amount about our area teams. Our first small classification team makes the Sweet 16 and Chamberlain is back in.
Note: St. Stephen’s is our top small class team. Not eligible to make the Sweet 16 because FHSAA playoff runs will be a factor in the final ranking. St. Stephen’s is not a member of the FHSAA.
BCP AREA
Counties considered: Hernando, Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Manatee
LARGE CLASSES
5A-8A teams.
SMALL CLASSES
1A-4A teams. The FHSAA teams no longer have districts which dictate playoff appearances.
SWEET 16
All classes combined. Our opinion on the top 16 teams in the area no matter the classification.
