Tampa Catholic literally RUNS from public schools in both counties... I know they have had some big name players come out of the school but there is no way they would be Largo High... They play in a powder puff class (2b) and Max Prep has The Go ranked higher... I cannot understand how the local high school football ranking greatly differ from the national rankings...
