Manatee remains
No. 1 in the Xcellent 25 National Football Rankings presented by the
Army National Guard.
However, there are several teams lurking on the Hurricanes' heels.
Camden
County and St. Ignatius both move up a spot to No. 3 and No. 4,
respectively. Each team has plenty of opportunity to make a case for the
No. 1 spot with loaded playoffs brackets in both Georgia and Ohio.
Entering
the rankings this week is St. Joseph's Prep, which enjoyed a 23-10
victory over defending Class AAA champion Archbishop Wood.
Led by head coach Gabe Infante, St. Joseph's Prep is a young and talented, but will be tested this weekend by La Salle.
