Risers

#6 The First Academy

The First Academy has found their stride as they've won 9 of their last 10 games. They are coming off a big win over #9 Windermere last week and will face them again tomorrow. TFA has battled a tough schedule and has come away 18-4 so far.

#7 Spruce Creek

Spruce Creek is another hot team making a jump after winning 10 straight games. They have competed against some of the best teams on the East Coast of Florida and handled business. The Hawks are 20-2 and are ready for a playoff run.

Fallers

#17 Venice

Venice drops this week after a tough loss to Riverview last week. The Indians remain 18-3 on the season but can't afford any more slip-ups as the playoffs quickly approach.

#21 IMG Black

An 0-2 Week 8 record for IMG Black drops them a few spots this week. They lost 6-0 to Sebring then 5-3 in 10 innings to Inspiration Academy. They'll look to get back into the win column heading into their last week of the season.

Newcomers

#19 St. Thomas Aquinas

St. Thomas makes their debut in the 2025 Power 25 this week at 19. The Raiders are 17-5-1 on the season and have played a tough schedule with quality wins. They have beaten #13 Jesuit, previously ranked Jupiter, and bubble team West Broward. 2 of their losses have come against #2 Stoneman Douglas.

#22 Pace

Pace has been one of the top Panhandle teams this spring. 15-4 on the season with wins over Chiles, Lincoln, Timber Creek, and Pensacola Catholic. They take on previously ranked Gulf Breeze in a tough matchup this week.

#24 Creekside

It's been an up-and-down season for Creekside who has played one of, if not the hardest schedule in the state. The Knights have gone 15-8 and have wins over #7 Spruce Creek, #9 Windermere, #10 Hagerty, Lincoln, and Bolles. The Knights are battle-tested and have prepared themselves for a tough playoff stretch.
