CHARLOTTE, N.C.- Winners of 14 of their past 16, the Florida SouthWestern State Buccaneers jumped into the Top 10 of the NJCAA National Rankings on Monday, climbing four spots to #9 in the week six rankings released by the National Office.
The Bucs are 32-10 on the year and lead the Suncoast Conference with a 13-3 record. They went 3-0 last week, claiming a 17-1 run rule victory over Elev8 Academy Wednesday before bombing Pasco-Hernando 18-6 Friday and opening the second half of conference play with an 8-5 win over Polk on Saturday.
There was some movement inside the week six rankings, although 19 of the 20 teams remained the same from a week ago. Wabash Valley took back over the #1 spot from Central Arizona who dropped to #2, Walters State and San Jacinto stayed put at #3 and #4 and Crowder rounded out the Top 5. The Bucs were this week's biggest risers as they moved up four spots along with John A. Logan into the #9 and #10 spots from #13 and #14 a week ago.
The Bucs are one of four FCSAA teams in the week six rankings, joined by Chipola one spot ahead of them at #8, Central Florida at #13, and Santa Fe at #19.
FSW is back in action tonight as they go to Winter Haven to take on Polk State in a key Suncoast Conference contest beginning at 6 PM from Bing Tyus Yard.
