Plant drops in the poll! Outside of Hillsborough County it seems that their rep isn't as big.

Actually 10:25, your dead wrong. Pinkos has them #2 overall in the state, right behind Armwood and ahead of Chamberlain, St. Thomas, and Lakeland. Also, Plant is ranked #36 nationally in ESPN/Rise. In Massey, another poll that ranks every team in the country, they are #4 in the state of FL. In the Laz Index, a poll for Florida teams only, they come in at number 9 in the state overall.

The Beef's poll is good, but has a lot more voters in S. Fla. Tampa area only gets one or two votes in the poll (bunk).

we killed canterbury...we want to call out armwood!!!

[Keith Niebuhr]

FYI --- I vote in this poll. I had Plant 12th

Good to hear. A year or two back Steve could only get one TB writer to return his ballot.

After Largo whoops dundun they should break the top 25. if not, the rankings are rediculous

[Panther Fan]

Keith, you're still number #1 to us!
Go Panthers!

[A Eagle]

IRC no where to be found? not even receiving votes? man..

[Sharks fan]

i guess we just have to wait till after this week and week 6 for nct to get some love

(Week 6 being South Sumter)

unedin i hope you found your D

largo you have to find a team this year
you have not been tested yet
that will change this year

Largo is not as good as last year, but they will still the best team in pinellas county.

how come no one gives largo respect???
they have dominated the past 5 years no one can stop them two years in a row a game from the state final 4. they must be doing something right down there. also i think Phil Price might have a little squad this year after losing all his players in 07 and a averge year last year. good luck to all the athletes in the bay area!!!

dun dun is done done. I would be willing to bet East Lake beats them and they do not even make the playoffs. They easily have the most talented team in Pinellas County. Largo played bad and still beat them.
