The South region (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi) has been highly competitive so far this season, so who better to start off our weekly regional rankings, than the host of two major tournaments already this season. The Nike TOC Southeast and the Florida Gem High School Classic were just two of a number of events that offered up some electric matchups in the past two weeks. Let’s see how our first round of rankings wound up.
1. Carrollwood Day (Tampa, Florida)
Record: 12-1
Impact Wins: Viera (FL), Hagerty (FL), Skutt Catholic (NE), Lakeland (FL)
Notes: CDS took silver at the Nike TOC Southeast and Gold at the Florida GEM HS Classic. The team’s singular loss on the season came at the hands of TOC champions Cornerstone Christian of Texas.
2. Academy of Holy Names (Tampa, Florida)
Record: 7-1
Impact Wins: Braden River (FL), Westminster Christian (FL), North Allegheny (PA), Venice (FL), Winter Park (FL), Sandy Creek (GA)
Notes: The FL Gem silver medalist, Holy Names has dropped just a pair of sets on the season, both against No. 1 Carrollwood Day. They’ve taken wins off teams from three different states, and look to be the real deal this season.
3. Viera…
