Risers

#1 IMG Academy

IMG Academy moves up to #1 heading into Week 5. A big 3-0 win over #8 St. Johns Country Day last week helped IMG make the jump. IMG is 9-1 and has some very tough wins.

#12 Seminole

Seminole continues its hot start to the season moving to 10-0. They had their biggest win of the season last week knocking off #10 Calvary Christian. They then dominated Anclote 18-1 to close out the week.

#13 Jesuit

After a slow start to the season, Jesuit has now rattled off seven wins in a row including winning the Saladino Tournament. Four wins in four days over Strawberry Crest, Leto, Lennard, and Jefferson. Jesuit is on a roll to start March.

Fallers

NR Sickles

Sickles suffered two losses during the Saladino Tournament last week. A 6-2 loss to Lennard then a 3-0 loss to Alonso. They beat Plant City 11-3 but those two losses cost them a spot in the Power25.

NR Montverde Academy

After a couple of weeks inside the Power25, Montverde Academy will fall out this week. They had a rough going in Week 4 with a 0-4 record. Losses to Bolles, IMG Academy Grey, Martin County, and Eustis knock Montverde out of the rankings.

Newcomers

#15 Monsignor Pace (Miami)

Pace is off to a 9-0 start of the season and makes their Power25 debut this week. A big win over #17 Miami Christian followed a 16-1 win over Mater Lakes Academy. The Spartans are hot to begin the year.

#22 Venice

Venice has rattled off ten straight wins after losing their opening contest. They have played a tough schedule so far and have some big wins including #13 Jesuit, Columbia, Trinity Catholic, and CCC.

#23 Rockledge

Rockledge is 12-0 to start the season and have some impressive wins. They have beaten Melbourne, Merritt Island, and Harmony. The Raiders are outscoring opponents 101-11 on the season and look to continue their strong start.

#24 Lincoln

Despite having four losses, Lincoln has perhaps the most impressive win in the country on their resume. They knocked off #2 Stoneman Douglas and ended their 59-game winning streak. They have a tough matchup coming up this week as they take on #9 Arnold.

#25 Cardinal Gibbons

Cardinal Gibbons makes their Power25 debut this week. A 10-1-1 record which includes ten straight wins. The Chiefs are on a roll this month and look to continue that with some tough matchups coming up.
