Risers

#9 Canterbury

The Cougars pull off the most spectacular jump of the entire season, rocketing up 12 spots into the Top 10. They orchestrated a flawless 4-0 week, highlighted by a stunning victory over #2 IMG Academy and a win against #20 Merritt Island. Taking down a national juggernaut like IMG proves Canterbury has the firepower to beat anyone in the state, making them a terrifying matchup moving forward.

#17 Chiles

The Timberwolves vaulted six spots to #17 after executing a pitching masterclass. They went 2-0 on the week, completely silencing a heavily favored #4 South Walton squad in a tense 1-0 shutout. At 16-3, Chiles is proving that their rotation can neutralize the most explosive offenses in Florida, rewarding them with a solid leap up the board.

Fallers

#12 Tampa Catholic

The Crusaders slide four spots out of the Top 10 following a 3-1 week. While they banked plenty of wins, an unexpected loss to Cardinal Mooney proved costly. With teams like Canterbury and Mater Academy surging, Tampa Catholic couldn't afford a slip-up against an unranked opponent.

#16 Bishop Snyder

The Cardinals drop four spots down to #16 after a 2-1 stretch. A tight 5-4 loss to Bartram Trail halted their attempts to climb back into the upper echelon. They are still a dangerous 14-4 squad, but they are struggling to string together the spotless weeks needed to survive in the top 15 right now.
