1. (1) Jackson (5-0, Class 3A)
Quality wins: Florida High, Ponte Vedra, Providence.
Notable: Two solid wins for the Tigers since last week, a 72-68 W over a very good Providence and a 74-41 romp over Nease. They’ve got Bolles (Thursday) and Pine Ridge (Saturday). Javion Davis (14.2 ppg), Donald Hackworth (12.8 ppg, 7.2 rpg), Corenzes Dennard (9.6 ppg) and Terrell Mosely II (9.6 ppg) are leading the area’s top team.
2. (3) Providence (4-2, Class 2A)
Quality wins: Bolles, Tocoi Creek.
Notable: The Stallions went 2-1 since our last Super 6, edging Doctor Phillips (53-50) and blasting previous No. 2 Tocoi Creek (74-43). You think Providence took issue with being ranked below the Toros last week? Mercy. What a romp. They also dropped a 72-68 game to No. 1 Jackson. Big one on deck Friday night against Impact Christian and another one on Saturday against Windermere. William Stewart (16 ppg, 6.7 rpg), Marvin Christie (14.2 ppg, 6.8 rpg) and Ryan Gornto (13.3 ppg) are leading a very balanced Stallions team.
3. (4) Impact Christian (4-0, Class 1A)
Quality win: Coral Glades, Creekside.
Notable: Great start for the Lions. They beat Coral Gables (76-66) in their lone game since our last Super 6. They’ve got unbeaten Episcopal at home on Tuesday night in what should be a tough test. Then, Impact visits No. 2 Providence on Friday. Ronald Clark (18.3 ppg), Frandy Perez (15.3 ppg, 6.8 rpg), Mechack Olungu (10.8 ppg, 9.5 rpg) and Jeremiah Jones (10.8 ppg) have looked good for the Lions.
4. (2) Tocoi Creek (3-1, Class 6A)
Quality wins: Bishop Kenny, Milton.
Notable: The Toros went 1-1 since our last Super 6, including a quality 62-48 win over Milton. The tough game was a 74-43 blowout loss to Providence. They’ve got a difficult test against Fleming Island on Tuesday night followed by unbeaten Episcopal on Thursday.
5. (NR) Bishop Kenny (5-1, Class 4A)
Quality win: Ponte Vedra.
Notable: Another good start by the Crusaders, who remain one of the area’s most well-coached teams under Jerry Buckley. They knocked off a strong Ponte Vedra team since our last Super 6 (57-53). The lone loss is a 61-60 game to Tocoi Creek.
6. (5) Ponte Vedra (3-2, Class 5A)
Quality win: University Christian.
