Video: James Meeks' highlights vs. American Heritage
Watch the ThunderWolves' senior running back score twice in Oxbridge Academy's 38-0 win.
Carol City's win over Central (Miami) sent shockwaves through the MaxPreps south region football computer rankings, directly affecting four teams.
First, Carol City moved into the rankings at No. 16. Second, Central dropped out of the rankings. Third, Coral Gables entered the rankings at No. 15 due to its previous win over Carol City.
Finally, Oxbridge Academy (West Palm Beach, Fla.) moved up to No. 5 thanks to a previous win over Carol City.
IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) remains No. 1 after being idle last week. DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.) returns to the No. 2 spot after beating St. John's (Washington, D.C.).
