Rank, Previous, School, Record, Classification
1. (1) Trinity Christian (16-6, Class 2A)
Quality wins: Baylor (Tenn.), Beachside, Clay, Columbia, Edmond Memorial (Okla.), Lincoln, Lowndes (Ga.), Magnolia Heights (Miss.), North Marion, Richmond Hill (Ga.), St. Johns Country Day, Suwannee, Tocoi Creek, University Christian, West Broward.
Notable: The Conquerors went 2-1 since our last Super 6, including an 11-6 loss to powerhouse St. John Bosco in nine innings at the NHSI, and followed that up with a 9-7 win over nationally ranked Baylor in the finale there. They returned home with an 8-1 win over Clay. Only two Trinity losses have come to local teams (St. Johns Country Day, Creekside). Gage Petrutz (.463, 3 HR, 17 RBI) and Aiden Arnett (.359, 2 HR, 10 RBI) are having excellent seasons at the plate against wicked tough competition. Parker Loew is the only other Trinity batter hitting .300, and he’s right on the nose of that. Tyler Ellis (5-0, 0.70 ERA, 47 Ks, 30 IP) and Brennan Bachtell Jr. (4-0, 1.75 ERA, 28 IP, 39 Ks) are the starters who have multiple decisions who remain unbeaten.
2. (3) Creekside (19-4, Class 7A)
Quality wins: Bartram Trail, Beachside, Bolles, Clay, Hagerty, North Marion, St. Johns Country Day, St. Joseph, Tocoi Creek, Trinity Christian, West Orange, Windermere (twice).
Notable: Solid week for the Knights. They went 2-1, topping St. Johns Country Day (2-1) and Winter Park (5-1). They lost a 2-1 game to Georgia power Lowndes. Dominic Cantona (.350, 2 HR, 16 RBI) bumped his average up 5 points since our last Super 6 against big-time competition. Aramis Guanchez (.319) is right behind. I’m convinced that Creekside can beat any team in 7A with Gavin Duprey or Matt Bysheim throwing. Those guys are elite.
3. (2) Bishop Snyder (15-5, Class 2A)
Quality wins: Baldwin, Bolles, Central (Ala.), Farragut (Tennessee), Fernandina Beach, Hartselle (Ala.), Morgan County (Ga.), Newnan (Ga.), Providence, Sandalwood, South Walton, Suwannee.
Notable: The Cardinals went 1-2 since our last Super 6, with losses to Trinity Catholic (5-2) and Bartram Trail (5-4). They added a quality W over Ponte Vedra (7-1). Not any room for concern for the Cardinals. They’re playing very strong programs and faring very well. Ilias Mamea (.442, 3 HR, 14 RBI) and Tanner Upton (.377, 13 RBI) are leading the offense for Snyder. Cole Dennis (5-1, 1.12 ERA, 63 Ks) is leading the hurlers.
4. (4) St. Johns Country Day (16-6, Class 1A)
Quality wins: Baldwin, Beachside, Bishop Kenny, Clay (twice), Flagler Palm Coast, Providence, Sandalwood, Suwannee, Trinity Christian, University Christian, West Broward, Winter Park
Notable: The Spartans went 2-2 since our last Super 6, topping Clay (6-3) and Bishop Kenny (8-2) while losing to Bolles (3-2) and Creekside (2-1). I’ll say it again for folks who just record watch—you have to take quality of competition into account. The Spartans are a 1A school who have dropped all six games against much larger programs. They close out the regular season next week against Georgia teams North Gwinnett, Parkview and North Oconee. Madden Williams (.375, 3 HR, 17 RBI), Hunter Rodgers (.339, 2 HR, 13 RBI) and Jonas Wells (.333, 13 RBI) lead the bats. While he’s not racking up the monstrous perfect season on the mound like he did in 2025, Brayden Harris (5-2, 81 Ks, 44 IP, 1.75 ERA) remains one of the best arms around. His junior season was just unbelievable.
5. (5) Fernandina Beach (17-3, Class 3A)
Quality wins: Baker County, Baldwin (twice), Bishop Kenny, First Coast, Sandalwood, Tocoi Creek, Trinity Catholic, Union County, West Nassau.
Notable: A 2-0 week, with wins over Fletcher and a quality Tocoi Creek team. They’ve won three straight since a loss to St. Augustine. No reason that the Pirates shouldn’t wrap up the regular season with wins over Fleming Island, Ridgeview and Savannah Christian. Trace Farmer continues to lead the Pirates offensively (.489, 2 HR, 19 RBI).
6. (6) Bartram Trail (13-7, Class 6A)
Quality wins: Bishop Kenny, Bishop Snyder, Bolles, Clay, Columbia, Episcopal, First Coast, Ponte Vedra, Spruce Creek, St. Augustine.
Notable: Turns out that it was the right call to put the Bears in the rankings last week. They stretched their winning streak to six games, including a high quality 5-4 win over Bishop Snyder. Colby Dean (.355, 2 HR) is leading the Bartram offense. Something to be on the lookout for. Bears head coach Ryan Fitzpatrick will be out of action for a bit after the school had to self report a pitch count violation involving a player who threw a total of 103 pitches instead of the maximum of 95. Players between the ages of 13 and 16 years old are only permitted to throw 95 pitches in a game. Players 17 and older can throw a maximum of 105. The pitcher is permitted to finish facing the current batter even after that pitch count is reached, but must leave as soon as that batter is retired. A source said there was an oversight on the player’s age.
