Jones, following its second straight shutout victory to start the season, was once again a unanimous No. 1 choice of the 15 coaches voting in this week’s Sentinel Super 16 Coaches Poll.
The top five teams, however, had a bit of shuffling. Edgewater remained at No. 2 and the Eagles and Jones are headed toward a huge showdown of possible unbeatens on Sept. 12 at Edgewater
Edgewater had one first-place vote, but behind the Eagles, Lake Mary (2-0) moved up one spot into the No. 3 position, and West Orange (2-0) dropped to No. 4.
