After a bye week last Friday night, the Northview Chiefs slipped to No. 3 in the region and No. 8 in the state in the latest 1A rankings released Tuesday by the Florida High School Athletic Association.

In Region 1-1A, the Chiefs are ranked behind Baker, ranked No. 1 in the state, and Vernon, ranked No. 6 in the state.

Region 1-1A rankings are as follows (listed as school, RPI, record)

  1. Baker .691 (8-0)
  2. Vernon .624 (6-2)
  3. Northview .606 (5-2)
  4. Freeport .601 (6-2)

  8. Cottondale .425 (2-6)
  9. Chipley .395 (1-7)

Teams are ranked based upon a RPI formula. RPI stands for Ratings Percentage Index. In short, it is a way to measure a team’s strength relative to other teams, based largely on the strength of their schedules.

Northview will face bottom-ranked Chipley this Friday night in Chipley.
