Check the score for the Park Vista game. They didn't score 74, they only scored 30 something.

How is this ranking done Lake Worth beat Boynton and a number of the teams that Boynton has beaten and a last year's State Champion team and at the same time they have managed to stay undefeated. Please help me understand this ranking. Boynton maybe a better team but......Lake Worth beat them head to head!

@if you say so I am just asking a question. I am sure this paper does not consider the refs being a part of any games. That is silly Lake Worth beat Boynton and they would do the same if they played again!

Lake Worth beat Boynton when it was their 1st game of the season. If they haven't played anyone, then that makes Boyntons loss even sadder. I was at the game and it looked like Boynton's pointguard was shut down, couldn't get past the LW defense. Not the refs fault.

it was boynton's first game of the season. If they played again it would be a blowout in Boynton's favor.. Boynton definitely the 2nd best team around! BOYNTON!!!!!!!!!!!! BEACH!!!!!!!!!!!! TIGERS!!!!!!!!
