Top 25 Florida girls flag football rankings (3/13/2024)
The pigskin is being thrown around aplenty, but it's the girls being on the gridiron.
Girls flag football season is underway throughout the state of Florida and there’s plenty of good ball being played as we enter the spring.
Continuing to headline the top of the rankings heading into the second week of play is the No. 1, Alonso Ravens of Hillsborough County, and at No. 2 is Robinson. Both teams won state championships last May and are coming off strong 2023 campaigns.
The 'Road to Tampa' continues and there’s a slew of teams we looked at for our initial rankings and now we break out the fourth edition. Check out our power rankings and let us know what you think.
Find the complete breakdown of the SBLive Florida Girls Flag Football Power 25:
1. Alonso (7-0)
The Ravens have allowed just one touchdown to Tarpon Springs this season. Otherwise, they've pitched six shutouts.
2. Robinson (8-0)
Haidyn Spano has been unreal this season, throwing for 1,674 yards and 38 touchdowns through eight games.
3. Western (9-0)
Beating previous No. 3 Lennard was impressive. Shutting them out 20-0 was a statement by the Wildcats.
4. Choctawhatchee (6-0)
The Indians have remained the dominant force on the Florida Panhandle, scoring 131 points and only allowing 37.
5. Fleming Island (6-0)
London Jenkins will find a way to the endzone somehow, some way. Jenkins has 518 all-purpose yards and nine touchdowns this season.
6. Lennard (6-2)
The Longhorns dropped their first two games of the season, falling to Seminole Ridge and Western.
7. Miami Edison (5-0)
Defense has been the name of the game for the Red Raiders. They have only allowed eight points this season.
8. Newsome (4-3)
Yes, the Wolves have three losses. All three are to teams ranked just ahead of them in these rankings.
9. Steinbrenner (7-1)
The Warriors are currently on a 3-game winning streak, defeating East Lake, Tampa Catholic and Sumner.
10. Southridge (8-0)
Another South Florida team that’s continued on a tear is the Spartans. This club has amassed 239 points through eight games.
11. Wellington (7-0)
No stopping this offense with Keelin Coleman throwing the rock. Coleman has thrown for 1,432 yards, 24 touchdowns and only two interceptions.
12. Palm Beach Gardens (8-0)
How it took us this long to get the Gators on here is for another time. This Palm Beach Gardens team's 27-6 romp of Seminole Ridge really opened some eyes.
13. Fort Pierce Central (8-1)
It's been a steady climb for the Cobras and though they fell to Wellington, it was just 15-12. Fort Pierce Central is a program that's continuing the rise up.
14. Paxon School (7-1)
Yes, the Golden Eagles have a loss on their record, but it came up against Fleming Island. Not a bad blemish.
15. Piper (6-1)
The Bengals have been an impressive bunch on both sides of the ball, pitching three shutouts so far. Only loss has come against Western.
16. Trinity Catholic (7-1)
Celtics see a big leap in the standings as they’ve shown they’re one of the state’s top risers when it comes to improving programs. Only loss is a 2012 decision against Choctawhatchee.
17. Lincoln Park Academy (7-1)
The Greyhounds have been a scoring machine all season long. Lincoln Park Academy edging Park Vista 13-12 vaults them into the rankings.
18. Park Vista (7-3)
Three losses in a row have come against some strong competition, including Lincoln Park Academy and Fort Pierce Central.
19. Seminole Ridge (7-2)
Though the Hawks' losses have come against stout opposition, losing 27-6 to Palm Beach Gardens, was a bit surprising.
20. Pembroke Pines Charter (7-2)
Another South Florida team that's been playing really well is the Jaguars. Just two losses, which have come to Seminole Ridge and Western, respectively.
21. Braden River (8-0)
The pride of the South Suncoast has been the Pirates, riding an undefeated record and have scored 272 points this season.
22. Navarre (8-1)
Still, the only loss the Raiders have this season is 12-7 against Choctawhatchee.
23. Armwood (4-1)
The Hawks dropped their first game of the season in a 21-14 defeat by Newsome. Armwood should bounce back before facing Lennard on April Fool’s Day.
24. Pace (7-2)
The Patriots only two losses have come against Choctawhatchee and Navarre, both teams in these rankings.
25. FSU High (3-1)
The Seminoles fell hard against Alonso at the Capital City Classic, but this is still the Big Bend's top club.
