Seminole is No. 1

The latest state poll is out, and Pinellas County now has TWO teams ranked No. 1 in their respective classification.

The latest member of the club? Class 5A Seminole, which joins Class 3A No. 1-ranked CCC as the local schools who can wave their foam fingers with pride.

The Warhawks have earned their first No. 1 ranking since the great national championship team of 2001. At 17-0, the Warhawks are one of only three undefeated teams in the state, along with Class 2A, No. 1 American Heritage and Class A, No. 2 Merritt Island Christian, which is listed at 10-0.

Seminole got eight first-place votes, with the other one going to No. 2 Plant. Three other local teams are ranked in the top 10 -- Jesuit (4), Land O'Lakes (9) and Dunedin (10).

CCC (17-1) remained No. 1 in 3A, Canterbury dropped one spot to No. 3 in Class A where Cambridge is up to No. 5, and Pasco dropped to No. 10 in Class 4A.

The rest of the poll is right here...just click below...
