1. (1) Jackson (14-2, Class 4A)
Notable wins: Auburndale, Bishop Snyder, Eleanor McMain, Fleming Island, Florida High, Orange Park, PK Yonge, Ribault, Victory Rock Prep.
Glance: The Tigers are a solid No. 1, cementing that spot with a blistering run since late December. Jackson has won eight straight games, including big ones over Bishop Snyder (52-41), Victory Rock Prep (59-41) and Orange Park (54-50) since our last Super 6.
2. (2) Fleming Island (16-1, Class 6A)
Notable wins: Auburndale, Episcopal, Fletcher, Impact Christian, Nease, Oakleaf, Raines, Riverside (twice), Seminole.
Glance: Just one game since our last Super 6, a 52-51 win over Fletcher in a classic. Fleming rounds out the week at home against two-win First Coast on Thursday. Colton Zapp (13.9 ppg), Ahman Greenidge (12.1 ppg, 8.9 rpg) and Antoine Sandy (11 ppg) lead Fleming. This record is likely to change by our next Super 6 due to an impending decision by the FHSAA regarding an ineligible player on the Golden Eagles, so keep that in mind if you notice a drastic shift in the record.
