Area football teams last week hit the field for some big district games, but the High School on SI Central Florida Rankings basically remained the same.

Led by No. 1 Edgewater’s runaway 47-0 victory against Winter Springs, the top nine teams in this week’s rankings stayed in their spots. Only Jones (5-2) broke into the top 10, moving up three spots after overwhelming Lake Wales, 48-22.

Two schools – No. 6 The First Academy (4-3) and No. 9 Eau Gallie (5-2) – did not play last week. TFA was idle, while Eau Gallie had its huge district game against Merritt Island postponed to Nov. 4 because of weather.
