Rank, School, Record, Classification
1. (1) Bishop Kenny (24-1, Class 4A)
Notable wins: Bolles, Cardinal Gibbons, Centennial, Episcopal, Gainesville, Legion Collegiate, Mainland, McEachern (Ga.), NFEI, Oakleaf, Orange Park, Orlando Jones, Providence Christian (Tenn.), Ribault, Sandalwood, University Christian, Vero Beach.
Glance: One game since our last Super 6, a 65-13 romp over Palatka. It’s the District 4-4A tournament up next. Kenny faces Beachside in the semis on Wednesday night. Then, it’s a likely showdown with rival Bolles in the final. There’s unlikely to be a challenge of merit for the Crusaders until at least the regional final.
2. (2) Oakleaf (21-2, Class 6A)
Notable wins: Bartram Trail, Bradford, First Coast, Fleming Island, Jackson, Mainland, Nease, Paxon, Ponte Vedra, Ridgeview, San Jose Prep.
Glance: The Knights dusted Parker (66-24) in their regular season finale. Now, it’s on to the District 3-6A tournament. They’ll open with either Fleming Island or Orange Park in the semis. And it’s a likely showdown with Super 6 team Nease in the final.
3. (5) Nease (19-5, Class 6A)
Notable wins: Bartram Trail, Columbia (twice), Hilliard, Horizon, Menendez, Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine, Tampa Bay Tech, Tocoi Creek, Villages Charter.
Glance: The winning streak is at seven games for the Panthers. They beat Fletcher (68-27) and Tocoi Creek (59-36) since our last Super 6. The District 3-6A tournament is on tap, with an opener against Fletcher before a likely tilt with rival Ponte Vedra in the semis.
4. (4) San Jose Prep (16-6, Independent)
Notable wins: Boca Raton, Bolles, Florida High, Kathleen, Mandarin, Northside Christian (NC), Ribault, Rickards, St. Johns CD.
Glance: The Storm beat Sandalwood handily (61-28) since our last Super 6. Since they’re an independent, there’s no FHSAA postseason for San Jose Prep.
5. (NR) St. Johns Country Day (14-5, Class 2A)
Notable wins: Bayshore, Covenant School of Jacksonville, Episcopal (twice), First Academy, George Jenkins, Jackson, Munroe, Ridgeview, The Rock, White
Glance: The Spartans return to the Super 6 after a week out, replacing a Jackson team that has been decimated by suspensions following a fight in a game against Raines. St. Johns beat Jackson (70-29) since our last Super 6. The Spartans and McDonald’s All-American Taliah Scott are seeded No. 1 for the District 3-2A tournament but it won’t be a cakewalk. Second-seeded University Christian is a likely district final opponent. The Christians have beaten St. Johns as well as Bolles this season.
6. (6) Bolles (17-8, Class 4A)
Notable wins: Bartram Trail, Episcopal, Mandarin, Menendez, NFEI, Orange Park, Ponte Vedra, Providence, St. Augustine, University Christian, West Port.
Glance: The Bulldogs went 2-1 since our last Super 6. They beat Mandarin (63-46) and NFEI (57-39) and lost to University Christian (48-45). The loss to UC is worrisome, especially with No. 1 BK looming in the District 4-4A tournament.
