Blue Darters ranking still unanimous

Apopka remains atop AP Poll

Coming off another huge win against University High School in Orlando, the Apopka High School Football Team remains #1 in the latest AP State 8A Poll. The vote was unanimous. All 17 voters agreed the Blue Darters deserved to be in the top slot, which is also where Apopka has landed every week this season.

This week Apopka travels to Winter Garden to face West Orange High School Warriors in the opening game of the Class 8A District 4 season. The Warriors are 1-4 this season, but beat Apopka in two games last season.
