After Merritt Island’s 3-2 win over Satellite: records, ranking context and Monday’s matches
Both varsity volleyball teams have 13 wins, but they play in different classifications. A side-by-side look at their records and the next listed home matches.
Merritt Island’s 3-2 win over Satellite leaves the two girls varsity volleyball teams with 13 wins apiece in the MaxPreps records checked September 26: Merritt Island is 13-3 and Satellite is 13-5. Their next listed matches are both at home on Monday, September 28.
A useful comparison across different classes
Merritt Island is listed in 3A District 8, with a 2-0 district record. Satellite is in 4A District 6, with a 0-1 district record. That means the head-to-head score and their district standings answer different questions: these teams are not competing in the same district table.
MaxPreps’ September 24 rankings put Merritt Island No. 13 statewide and No. 6 in Florida 3A. Satellite is No. 54 statewide and No. 4 in Florida 4A. Satellite’s lower class-ranking number does not put it ahead of Merritt Island on a shared list—the class lists contain different teams. The statewide list provides the like-for-like ranking scope.
These are MaxPreps team-page rankings, not announced playoff seeds. FHSAA says its non-football Open Division selections use FHSAA Power Rankings by MaxPreps on the FHSAA website at the conclusion of district tournaments. Do not read the September team-page positions as those final selections.
Monday’s home options, then two road dates
Satellite lists Bayside at home on Monday, September 28, at 6:30 p.m. Merritt Island lists Titusville at home that evening at 7 p.m. If you are choosing a match to follow, those are the next home fixtures shown for the two teams.
Satellite then lists a road match at Melbourne on Tuesday, September 29, at 7:30 p.m.; Merritt Island lists a trip to Lake Highland Prep on Wednesday, September 30, at 6 p.m. Recheck the linked schedules before heading out, as fixture details can change.
