What a weekend of high school football it was. We had two game of the year candidates this weekend. Byrnes (SC) held off a late charge by Mallard Creek (NC) and Dematha (MD) pulled out a crazy road victory over American Heritage (FL)Now that we are a few weeks into the season we finally feel comfortable putting out rankings. Ideally we would wait a few more weks like the BCS used to do but the fans are demanding rankings so here they are. Dematha takes the #1 spot based on two very impressive wins so far this season. This is not to say they will stay there all year but right now they have the most impressive resume and deserve the #1 spot. Follow us @PrepForce1 to stay on top of the rankings throughout the year.
