Mosley and Bay High lead local football teams in debut FHSAA rankings

The FHSAA has released the debut rankings for the 2026 high school football season Tuesday. The FHSAA MaxPreps Rankings are based on game results submitted through each team's MaxPreps account. These rankings evaluate a team's strength of schedule (SOS), as well as the SOS of their opponents to calculate a rating for each team.

These are where Bay County high schools rank in the first rankings of the season.
