Class 4A Region 1

RPI Rankings

1. South Walton- 0.663
2. Bolles- 0.652
3. Andrew Jackson- 0.575
4. Baldwin- 0.567
5. Marianna – 0.546
6. Gadsden County – 0.491

Bolles seemed to be firmly the #1 seed until to consecutive losses to Buchholz and Tru Prep. Now, South Walton has jumped them for the #1 seed. Baldwin loss Baker County put them down to #4. While Jackson is now at #3 as we predicted the flip. West Nassau lost the hold on the final spot to Gadsden County (2-6) who upset previously undefeated Mosely (9-1) two weeks ago. West Nassau scheduled Hollis Christian (2-5) on Tuesday and defeated them 47-8 in hope of boosting their RPI by record. Even their defeat of Ridgeview (1-8) Friday wasn’t enough to jump Gadsden County due to their strength of schedule not being strong enough.
