Oakleaf a unanimous No. 1 in the all-classification regional softball rankings

GAINESVILLE – Last week there was a tie for first in The Prep Zone Power Poll.

This week there’s a tie for second.

But there is no denying who is playing the best softball right now and that’s a reason why they are No. 1 in the all-classification regional softball rankings.

Defending 8A state champion Oakleaf (Orange Park) received all six first-place votes.

The Knights (16-2) went 4-0 to win the Kissimmee Klassic, including a win against 8A #6 Bartow, 7-3, in the championship game. They also defeated 9A HM Stoneman Douglas (Parkland), 17-1; #6 Eustis, 2-1; and, 9A HM Timber Creek (Orlando), 4-1. Oakleaf Knights

Oakleaf is also the top-ranked team in the all-classification state rankings by MaxPreps. They are also ranked 23rd nationally in the MaxPreps Xcellent 25.

Bartram Trail (St. Johns) and Columbia (Lake City) are tied for 2nd.

The Class 7A Bears (15-2), who handed the Knights one of their two losses, dropped one spot to second after a 2-1 week. They defeated previous No. #16 Mandarin (Jacksonville), 12-0, and Paxon (Jacksonville), 13-3, but lost to Middleburg, 9-3.

The Tigers (16-3) moved up one spot to second following a 10-3 win against Vanguard (Ocala) and a 5-2 win in 10 innings against current #13 West Nassau (Callahan).

GHS remained fourth.

Class 1A No. 1 Trenton rounds out the top five.

The Tigers (17-2) remained fifth following a 3-0 week. They defeated 1A #7 Chiefland, 10-0 (6); 1A HM Lafayette (Mayo), 2-1; and, 6A #7 Dunnellon, 8-1.

Eustis and Providence (Jacksonville) are tied for sixth.

The defending 5A state runner-up Panthers (14-3) went 3-1 at the Kissimmee Klassic, highlighted by a win against 8A #3 St. Thomas Aquinas (Ft. Lauderdale). They also lost by just one, 2-1, to top-ranked Oakleaf.

Meanwhile the Stallions (13-1), the top-ranked team in 4A, went 2-0 with wins against 9A Sandalwood (Jacksonville) and 4A Interlachen.

Class 8A East Ridge (Clermont), which moved up four spots, is eighth, followed by 9A University (Orange City) and 6A Springstead (Spring Hill) in the top 10.

Baker County (Glen St. Mary) enters the rankings at No. 19. The Class 5A Wildcats (13-5) won at Montverde Academy, 6-4, and had an upset win at 9A #2 Apopka, 2-1.

Previous No. 17 Dunnellon dropped out. The Class 6A Tigers (13-5) went 0-2 with losses to #10 Springstead (Spring Hill), 8-0, and at #5 Trenton, 8-1.

Sonic Drive-In Player-of-the-Game for April 6 – Bryn Thomas (Trenton)

The Sonic Drive-In Player-of-the-Game for Friday, April 6, is Byrn Thomas of the Trenton softball team.

The junior helped lead the Tigers to the Class 1A-District 7 regular season title with a 10-0 win against visiting rival Chiefland.

Thomas went 4-for-4, including an RBI single to left field to end the mercy-rule game in the sixth.

“She had a great game,” said Tigers’ coach Todd Bryant, whose team improved to 17-2 overall and 8-0 in district play. “She shut down the running game and had the clutch hit to win the game. It’s hard to go 4-for-4.”

Thomas, who is uncommitted but has multiple D-I offers from mid-major schools USC Upstate, Lipscomb, and Stetson, had a bunt single RBI in the bottom of the first inning as the Tigers built a 3-0 lead after one. An inning later, she doubled to right field and drove in another run to help extend the Trenton lead to 6-0 after two innings. Bryn Thomas POG Trenton

The Tigers’ starting catcher would finish with three RBI in helping Class 1A No. 1 Trenton to the district-clinching win against No. 7 Chiefland.

“As a whole I felt we played pretty well,” said Thomas, who entered the game with a .391 average. “They’re (Chiefland) always good competition, and it’s always good when you can beat your rival.”

Freshman Darian Ingram picked up the win in the circle by pitching six innings and allowing no runs on just four hits with only one walk and seven strikeouts.

With the win, Trenton clinched the regular season district title. However, they will likely see the Indians (14-4, 6-3) two more times, with the final meeting determining who will advance to the state semifinals in May.

“This stuff is a grind,” said Bryant. “Keeping the kids up game to game is tough. I’m proud of them. They showed up focused and ready to play.”

Chiefland will host Taylor County (Perry) on Monday, while Trenton will travel to Class 7A #7 Columbia (Lake City).

Every game The Prep Zone will recognize a Player-of-the-Game. The recipient receives a $10 gift certificate courtesy of Sonic Drive-In of Gainesville & Ocala.

Sonic Drive-In Player-of-the-Game for April 5 – Noah Lukas (North Marion)

The Sonic Drive-In Player-of-the-Game for Thursday, April 5, is Noah Lukas of the North Marion (Citra) baseball team.

Lukas helped lead the North Marion baseball team to a 12-0 win at Eastside (Gainesville) in a Class 6A-District 5 game.

The sophomore had the only multi-hit game. He singled in a run in the third and doubled down the left field line to drive in two in the fourth.

Noah Lukas North Marion “He has come on strong as of late,” said North Marion coach Dale Hall, whose team improved 10-7 overall and 4-1 in the district. “He has put in a lot of time in the cage and I’m happy to see it paying off for him.”

Lukas scored in the third and fourth innings as North Marion batted around each time. The Colts opened the scoring with a 7-run third inning.

North Marion took advantage of two walks, two hit batsmen, three wild pitches, three errors & three hits to score seven runs in the third inning and break a scoreless tie.

But they also helped themselves on the mound and in the field.

Senior Chase Denton improved to 5-1 by allowing no runs on just one hit with no walks and three strikeouts in four innings of work.

“Denton did a great job and we played really well defensively,” said Hall. “It was a fun game to watch.”

Freshman Wyatt Campbell drove in two runs on a single as part of a 5-run 4th inning to help the Colts run-rule the Rams (4-10, 1-6).

The two teams will face each other again on Friday night in Sparr.

Meanwhile, district leader Lake Weir (5-1) will play at Belleview (4-3), followed by a game at Leesburg. North Marion will close out its district slate with a home-and-home series against Leesburg next week.

“The number one seed is still up for grabs,” said Hall. “We have to win out to have a chance.”

If Lake Weir and North Marion finish tied for first, a coin toss will be used to determine the district champion.

Every game The Prep Zone will recognize a Player-of-the-Game. The recipient receives a $10 gift certificate courtesy of Sonic Drive-In of Gainesville & Ocala.
