Volleyball: FHSAA releases final regular season rankings — Oct. 13, 2023
The Florida High School Athletic Association released its final volleyball rankings of the regular season that determined district playoff seedings. The district winners in each region from next week’s tournaments automatically qualify for the playoffs and secure a home playoff in the region quarterfinals if they are not playing another champion. The next four postseason berths in each region are determined strictly by the rankings. Another ranking will be posted after the district tournaments to decide playoff seedings and at-large berths. Here is the list of the top eight in regions that includes area teams. Local ranked teams are in bold.
