FHSAA rating: 18.802 (3rd in Class 2A).

Notable wins: Bishop Moore, Fletcher, Hagerty, Walton (Ga.), Windermere.

Glance: The Eagles’ two losses are nothing to blink at. Episcopal dropped a 16-9 game to Vero Beach, coach Krista Grabher’s alma mater, and a 13-11 game to Palm Beach Benjamin, programs who are a combined 16-3. Grabher, a former University of Florida standout, has the Eagles positioned for their best season ever. Bartram Trail and Episcopal are the unquestioned best in the area.

Notable wins: Buchholz, Fleming Island, Menendez, Oak Hall.

Glance: Creekside has a bucket of solid victories on its resume thus far. There’s an excellent clash Thursday night in the opener of the Rivalry on the River against Bolles. That’s followed by a Saturday afternoon showdown against visiting Lake Mary. The Knights’ losses are both to teams in front of them and it hasn’t even been close.
4. Ponte Vedra (5-3, Class 2A)

Notable wins: Buchholz, Gainesville Oak Hall, Gulf Breeze.
FHSAA rating: 12.077 (9th in Class 1A).
