Area schools were recently recognized by Florida Dodge Dealers. Points were awarded to a school based on its finish in FHSAA State Series competition in each sport in the classification in which it has been assigned to compete. In bracket sports, points are awarded as follows: 100 for the state champion, 90 for the state runner-up, 83 for the state semifinalists, 60 for 5-8th places, and 25 for 9-16th places. In non-bracket sports, points are awarded as follows: 100, 90, 85, 80, 70, 63, 56, 49, 38, 34, 30, 26, 22, 18, 14, 10. Schools get a 5-point bonus for winning a district or regional championship, and points are deducted for unsportsmanlike conduct. The top 16 places were scored.

Class 5A: 2. Plant, 860 points; 5. Wharton, 569.5; 6. Newsome, 498.
