Rank, school, record, classification
1. (1) Ponte Vedra (8-0-1, Class 6A)
Notable wins: Beachside, Bishop Kenny, Bishop Moore, Fletcher, Gulf Breeze, Tocoi Creek.
Glance: The Sharks beat Fleming Island (4-0) and Tocoi Creek (6-0) since our last Super 6. They have Edgewood (Friday) and then visit No. 2 Bartram Trail (Tuesday) on deck next. That Bartram-Ponte Vedra rivalry stretches back years, with Sharks coach Dave Silverberg and Bartram’s Jennifer West coaching in some epic showdowns against one another.
2. (2) Bartram Trail (8-2-1, Class 7A)
Notable wins: Daytona Beach Seabreeze, Lakeland Christian, Navarre, P.K. Yonge, Tocoi Creek.
Glance: Excellent stretch since our last Super 6, including a split in the Women’s Invitational Showcase Tournament at Montverde. Bartram beat defending Class 2A state champ Lakeland Christian (2-0) and then dropped a 2-1 match against host Montverde. They returned with a win over P.K. Yonge (5-1) and powerhouse St. Johns Country Day (1-0). Unbeaten Edgewood (Saturday) and No. 1 Ponte Vedra (Tuesday) are up next. Brooke Gosse (8 goals) and Carolyn Johnson (8 assists, 5 goals) lead Bartram. And an excellent side note on Bartram and St. Johns raising $7,400 to help in the fight against pediatric cancer.

Glance: A 2-0 showing in the WIST at Montverde included a 3-1 win over Doral and a 2-1 win over American Heritage. They returned home with a tough 1-0 loss to No. 2 Bartram. The Spartans go on the road for a Friday game at unbeaten South Walton and a Saturday tilt at an 8-1-2 Niceville. Sydney Schmidt (6 goals, 3 assists) leads the Spartans.

4. (4) Creekside (6-0-1, Class 7A)
Notable wins: Beachside, Oakleaf, Providence, Stanton.
