After one week, there is minimal change to our Week 2 Northeast Florida Football Poll this week as both Columbia and Trinity Christian remain tied for first in our area poll.
Both looked impressive in wins over Gainesville and Braden River last week, the two will face Suwannee and Ribault this week in their second games of the season.
Lee, St. Augustine and Bolles were also impressive in their season opening wins, moving them up in the rankings, while Sandalwood which struggled with a young Ribault team dropped out.
Our weekly poll is put together by writers Andre Ellis and Corey Davis each week.
