Rank, School, Record, Classification

1. (1) Bishop Kenny (10-1, Class 4A)

Notable wins: Episcopal, Gainesville, Orange Park, Ribault, Vero Beach.

Glance: The Crusaders pushed their winning streak to seven games with a 57-33 win over Gainesville in their lone game in our Super 6 window. Kenny wraps up its pre-Christmas schedule on Tuesday against Orlando Jones. It sounds like a broken record each week, but Clare Coyle (11.5 ppg, 8.5 rpg), Riley Talbert (10.7 ppg) and Sophia Rueppell (10.5 ppg) are continuing to pace Kenny. Coyle had 21 points in the win over Gainesville. The Crusaders have been our No. 1 team all season. They are No. 15 in the state by MaxPreps.

2. (2) Oakleaf (10-1, Class 6A)

Notable wins: Bartram Trail, Mainland, Paxon, Ponte Vedra, San Jose Prep.

Glance: Solid week since our last Super 6, with wins over Columbia (9437) and a very good Ponte Vedra (66-62). A big Clay County clash against Orange Park on Wednesday is the final game this week. Kaylah Turner (22.6 ppg), Fantasia James (15.7 ppg) and Trista Brown (10.2 ppg) are powering Oakleaf. They’ve won nine straight games.

3. (3) Jackson (8-2, Class 4A)

Notable wins: Bolles, Gainesville, NC GBB Academy, San Jose Prep.

4. (4) Bolles (9-3, Class 4A)

Notable wins: Orange Park, Ponte Vedra, Providence, Raines, St. Augustine, University Christian.

Notable wins: Bartram Trail, Keystone Heights, Nease, Sandalwood, Trinity Christian.

Glance: A 1-1 week for the Panthers, with a win over Creekside (53-33) and a disappointing OT loss (67-60) to Mandarin. Opted to leave Ridgeview in ahead of San Jose Prep and Ribault for the final rankings of the 2022 calendar year. The Panthers wrap up the pre-Christmas slate on Wednesday against Raines.
