The Best Team in Palm Beach County right now are our Boys from Benjamin HS! We just keep marching on!

Benjamin, the following schools in PBC would whoop you: Seminole Ridge, Spanish River, Park Vista, American Heritage and even Jupiter.
Stop being satisfied with playing small schools like the West Palm Lutheran School for the Visually Impaired, etc and play some real schools.
Oh and by the way I did not forget about Boca Raton, it would just be embarrassing too for you if I mentioned that their Pre-JV team would whoop you also.

Bragging about your team this early in the season is just asking to be attacked. There are many games left to be played, and nothing is proven until the season is over and you are ranked higher than all the others around, and have at least a district championship. Making a deep run into states (regional finals / state semis) does not hurt your cause.
With that said, the guy making comments about the strength of Benjamin's schedule should do a little research. Benjamin Boys are 4-0 with wins against Dwyer, Jupiter High and Palm Beach Central (all 5A schools), and the Pine School (arguably the strongest 1A school in the county). They still have Okeechobee, American Heritage, Fort Pierce Central, St Edwards, Kings Academy, Clewiston, North Broward Prep and thier district games left to play on theier schedule, hardly push overs.
My suggestion would be to let the games be played and results speak for themselves on both sides of this discussion.
Good luck to all!
