As we take a look at the latest high school football rankings in the state of Florida, the top six remains the same as last week.

In one of the top matchups of the week, Miami Central defeated Southridge 34-28.

Meanwhile, two Jacksonville Metro Area teams, Raines and St. Augustine, moved into the top 10 after dominating wins last week.

Two undefeated teams, Vero Beach and Choctawhatchee, further prove they are legitimate state championship contenders after their impressive victories last week that saw them outscore the opposition 84-14.

The last major shift in the rankings is towards the bottom as Venice re-enters the rankings after their 35-21 over Clearwater Central Catholic.
