1. (2) Mandarin (7-1-1), Class 6A
Quality wins: Bartram Trail, Beachside, Creekside, Fletcher, Nease.
Notable: After one week out of the top spot, the Mustangs are right back. They went 2-0-1 since our last Super 6, including a 3-1 win over the only local team to beat it in years, Creekside. They also drummed Englewood (8-0) and had a 1-all draw with Wolfson. Emir Trto (12 goals, 10 assists) and Robert Calazans (10 goals, 6 assists) are leading Mandarin.
2. (3) Ponte Vedra (5-0-1), Class 5A
Quality wins: Bartram Trail, Nease, St. Augustine.
Notable: The Sharks went 1-0-1 since our last Super 6, a 7-0 romp over Englewood and a 2-all draw against Fleming Island. They’ve got road games at Seabreeze, Atlantic Coast and Mandarin before the Christmas break. Antonio Mahfuz Neto has a team-best five goals. Noah Ostfeld is next with four goals.
3. (5) Beachside (5-2-1), Class 5A
Quality win: Englewood.
Notable: The Barracudas went 1-0-1 since our last Super 6, including a 3-1 win over previous No. 1 Creekside. They also had a 2-all draw with Bartram Trail. They’ve got a busy stretch coming up with five games before the Christmas break.
4. (1) Creekside (7-2-1), Class 7A
Quality wins: Fleming Island, Fletcher, Mandarin.
Notable: The Knights handed Mandarin its first regular season loss last week since the 2022 season and then followed that up with an 0-2-1 mark. They lost to Mandarin (3-1) and Beachside (3-1), and had a 1-all draw against Sandalwood. Not a lot of room for concern for the Knights, but they do drop a few spots. Luke Amman has a team-best seven goals and Sebastian Hernandez has five.
5. (NR) Tocoi Creek (5-0-1, Class 6A)
Quality win: Flagler Palm Coast, Matanzas
Notable: The Toros haven’t played the most difficult schedule, but nudge Sandalwood out due to their 8-0 romp over Flagler Palm Coast. FPC just beat previously ranked Sandalwood 2-1. Tocoi’s first big test comes on Dec. 12 at Beachside. Dominic Nazario and Jake Bland have four goals apiece for the Toros.
6. (NR) Bartram Trail (4-3-1, Class 6A)
Quality win: Fleming Island.
Notable: The Bears move back in after beating previous No. 4 Fleming Island 3-1. Their only local losses are to Mandarin and Ponte Vedra. They added a 2-all tie against Beachside and a 5-1 win over Menendez since that last Super 6.
