Raiders move up two spots in AP poll

Navarre’s 26-0 shutout of Pensacola Catholic helped the Raiders gain two spots in the AP Florida High School Football Class 6A Poll released today and bumped the Crusaders down a notch to seventh in Class 3A. The Raiders (4-1 overall) received five votes in the latest rankings.

Pace, tied for 15^th in Class 6A with a single vote, and Northview, tied for fifth in Class 2A, are the only other area teams in the rankings.
