Undefeated St. Augustine stays on top of regional rankings but Bishop Kenny (Jacksonville) narrows the gap
GAINESVILLE — As the girls basketball regular season comes to an end this week and district tournaments get underway next week, the only undefeated team, St. Augustine, remains at the top of The Prep Zone Power Poll.
But red-hot Bishop Kenny (Jacksonville) is right on the Yellow Jackets’ tail.
St. Augustine, which is the number one seed in next week’s District 4-6A tournament, easily won both their games over Terry Parker (Jacksonville) and First Coast (Jacksonville) to improve to 19-0 and receive four of the seven first-place votes in the regional all-classification rankings.
Only a point behind St. Augustine and receiving two votes for first-place is No. 2 Bishop Kenny (Jacksonville).
The Crusaders, ranked No. 2 in Class 4A by Max Preps, defeated 4A state-ranked Cocoa, 2A state-ranked University Christian (Jacksonville) and won at No. 15 Bolles (Jacksonville).
Bishop Kenny (18-4) has won 10 games in a row and 15 of 16 after a 3-3 start. The Crusaders will host the District 3-4A tournament.
Nease (Ponte Vedra) remains 3rd.
The Panthers (19-3) have not lost since 2022 began, winning eight in a row, including wins over No. 8 Andrew Jackson (Jacksonville) and No. 13 Ponte Vedra.
Spruce Creek (Port Orange) remains 4th and picks up the final first-place vote.
The Hawks (14-6), ranked 8th in 7A by Max Preps, have lost only two games since the New Year, to 3A state-ranked Carrollwood Day (Tampa) and 4A No. 1 Lake Highland Prep (Orlando).
Wildwood, the top-ranked team in 1A, moves up a spot this week to round out the top five.
The Wildcats (13-4) have only dropped one game since the holidays, losing to Brooks-DeBartolo (Tampa), which is ranked No. 13 overall statewide by Max Preps.
Orange Park is a big mover this week, up six spots to a tie for 6th with Hawthorne. The Raiders (18-5) have won seven in a row and nine of 10 since January 1, with the only setback, 56-53, to No. 1 St. Augustine.
The Hornets (12-3), ranked No. 3 in 1A, picked up wins over 6A Gainesville, 2A state-ranked North Florida Educational Institute (Jacksonville), RV Columbia (Lake City) and #14 Trinity Catholic (Ocala).
Andrew Jackson (Jacksonville) also made a big move this week, up six spots to 8th.
The Tigers (13-8) had a six-game winning streak snapped with a two point loss at Nease, but they won the Gateway Conference Tournament the previous week and beat then-#5 Mandarin (Jacksonville) to move into the top 10 for the first time this season.
Mainland (Daytona Beach), which is ninth, and 10th-ranked Mandarin round out the top 10.
Mandarin dropped its first two games of the season to Jackson and Bolles and dropped five spots, but the Mustangs (15-2) stay in the top 10 for another week.
Eustis is the only team to make their debut this week, tied for 19th with Ribault (Jacksonville).
Madison County and Columbia dropped out from the previous poll.

Andrew Jackson (Jacksonville) a unanimous No. 1 in the all-classification regional rankings
GAINESVILLE – The boys high school basketball regular season is down to the final two weeks.
And although we don’t know who will be number one in each of the seven classifications at the end of the season, we at least know who the best team in the region is currently.
Andrew Jackson of Jacksonville remains on top of The Prep Zone Power Poll, which ranks the top 20 teams across 26 counties in Florida.
The Tigers have been state runners-up in two of the last three years. They are currently ranked 7th overall in Florida by MaxPreps and 3rd in Class 4A.
Jackson (18-2) showed their merit by knocking off defending 6A state champion Bartow, 64-47, on Saturday, and nationally ranked Lake Highland Prep (Orlando), 58-51, on Friday, at the Wally Keller Classic at Charlotte (Punta Gorda).
They received all seven first-place votes to remain No. 1 in the all-classification regional rankings.
Fleming Island (Orange Park), which is ranked 8th overall in Florida and No. 1 in Class 6A, remained second. The Golden Eagles (19-1) have won six in a row since a 67-51 loss to top-ranked Jackson on Dec. 23.
Ponte Vedra remained third.
The Sharks (18-2), who are ranked 26th overall in Florida and No. 7 in 6A, had wins against previous No. 17 Creekside (St. Johns) and at previous No. 6 Fletcher (Neptune Beach), which dropped out of the top 10 to No. 11 following a 1-3 record since the last poll.
Jacksonville schools Providence and Paxon flip-flopped, with Providence dropping from fourth to fifth an Paxon moving up one spot from fifth to fourth.
The No. 4 Golden Eagles are ranked 36th overall in Florida and No. 6 in 4A. Paxon (18-2) lost to #27 overall in Florida, Sagemont, 71-59, on Friday, but they also had a win against current No. 19 Santa Fe (Alachua).
The 5th-ranked Stallions are ranked 16th overall in Florida and No. 2 in 3A by MaxPreps. Providence (16-3) went 4-0 since the last poll, including a 33-31 win against No. 9 Nease (Ponte Vedra).
Class 5A Riverside (Jacksonville) (17-4), 3A Trinity Catholic (Ocala) (16-3), 5A Orange Park (17-3), 7A Nease (15-5), and 5A Leesburg (14-5) round out the top 10.
Class 7A Creekside (11-5) and 1A Hawthorne (5-4), which went 1-2, dropped out of the rankings, while 4A Central (Brooksville) (17-3) and 7A Sandalwood (Jacksonville) (13-6) moved into the rankings and are tied at No. 20.
