Antez Brinson's team's Derrick Cook and Sirkendric Bedinnes have formed a dream team this season, leading 5A District 8 in both passing and receiving yards. 5-10 quarterback Cook has thrown for 915 yards this season, while Bedinnes has 32 catches for 452 yards.

As it stands, the Spongers are in second, while Boca Ciega is in fourth.
The Pirates made the biggest jump in the national rankings this week, rising to 6,863 from 7,441. The improvement was largely due to a 27-0 victory over the Falcons last week.
