USA Today Florida Network High School Week 6 poll: Lakeland, Cardinal Mooney new No. 1's
Another week and another change atop the Class 4S and Class 1S rankings.
Lakeland is back at No. 1 in Class 4S and Cardinal Mooney claims the top spot in Class 1S in the latest USA Today Florida Network High School Football poll.
Lakeland reclaims the top spot after a two-week absence. The Dreadnaughts win over Winter Haven coupled with Treasure Coast's loss at St. Thomas Aquinas allowed Lakeland to pick up seven of 13 possible first-place votes. Undefeated Buchholz beat Vanguard 30-10 in Week 5 and picked up six first-place votes.
Cardinal Mooney routed Space Coast 60-0 and vaulted to the top spot after losses by last week's top two teams in Class 1S (Trinity Catholic and First Baptist Academy). Mooney picked up 10 first-place votes, Trinity received two and FBA received one.
Columbus (Class 4M), St. Thomas Aquinas (3M), Chaminade-Madonna (1M) and Mainland (3S) were unanimous first-place selections.
