Associated Press Florida Prep Football Rankings for Week 2

Braden River is the only area program to make the Associated Press state football rankings that were released Tuesday. The Pirates remain No. 3 in Class 7A after routing Bayshore 36-0 last Friday to open the regular season. Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, who eliminated Braden River in last year’s 7A state semifinal, dropped to No. 2 after losing 27-23 in its first game to Miami Booker T. Washington, which is ranked No. 1 in 4A.

The Pirates have 122 points, 11 behind Aquinas and 12 behind Lakeland, who took over the No. 1 spot in 7A with eight first-place votes.

Manatee is in the receiving votes category for Class 8A.
