Latest FHSAA Rankings
The Florida High School Athletic Association released its latest boys lacrosse rankings that will determine playoff seedings and some postseason berths.

The four at-large postseason berths in each region are determined strictly by the rankings. Here is the list of the top eight in regions that include area teams. Local ranked teams are in bold.
