PALM BEACH COUNTY – The FHSAA released the state ratings for every single team yesterday (Nov. 2) in the nine classifications: 4M, 3M, 2M, 1M, 4S, 3S, 2S, 1S, and 1R.
Palm Beach County has teams in 4M, 3M, 2M, 1M, and 1R. Other than Pahokee and Glades Day, every area team is considered to be a metro-based program, according to the FHSAA.
With that being said, we have 15 Palm Beach County teams that have a legitimate shot at making the postseason field, which will begin next week.
