Both teams were state level last year, JF only returns 2 from that team, Appomattox lost a lot as well, but return a handful more. If they were to play each other it would be a heck of a game. I think Appomattox would be pretty competitive in the Seminole with Smith as coach. For the sake of the rankings I do think Appomattox will win more than JF so if you are just looking at W/L then Appomattox is probably justified to start the season ahead of JF based on projected wins and who should advance further through the playoffs. Appomattox in 2A will likely advance further than JF in 4A. Head to head might be a different story altogether though.
