#5 Jupiter Outscraps #2 Saint Andrew’s 10-9

  Well, I didn’t see this one coming. Not the result . . . the way the game was played. It was a pretty ugly game to watch. These two teams have played some beautiful games the last few years.  Lots of top end talent . . . OT . . . rhythm and flow.  The ball not hitting the ground.  Fast breakouts and precision passing.  Great...

FLN Weekly High School Media Poll (Well, This Writer Anyhow!) – 3/5/17

  Well, if you thought last week’s results shook things up, this week was kind of an earthquake . . . Two teams just outside of the Top 20 last week made major statements.
