Florida high school football Week 4: What’s real and what’s not
USA TODAY Florida Network reporters Jon Santucci and Nick Wilson debate the biggest topics after the fourth week of the high school football season.
After a chaotic first month of the season, things may be starting to settle down in Florida.
At least, stability is the case for the USA Today Florida Network Super 25. The top 11 teams on the poll remain unchanged heading into Week 5.
IMG Academy, which routed Coronado (Nevada) 79-6 on Sept. 13, remains the unanimous No. 1 selection on the Super 25. The Ascenders received all 13 possible first-place votes.
St. Thomas Aquinas, Chaminade-Madonna, Miami Northwestern and Miami Central round out the top five.
Spruce Creek makes its debut at No. 23 after beating previously undefeated Mainland 20-16 in Week 4. DeLand, which has one of the most potent running games in the state, makes its debut at No. 25.
