A week into the high school baseball season, and already there’s a shakeup at the top of the Florida state rankings. 

Last Thursday, True North Classical Academy shut out preseason No. 1 Marjory Stoneman Douglas, 1-0. That opened the door for No. 2 Jesuit Tampa to jump into the top spot. But the Tigers also lost during the week. 

So who will be the top-rated team entering the week? You’re about to find out as High School on SI releases our latest Top 25 rankings.

1. IMG Academy (1-0)

Previous week: 3

The Ascenders opened the season in the No. 3 spot. Now, after beating Lakewood Ranch, 5-1, in its opener, IMG is the new No. 1. The Ascenders will be tested immediately on Monday against a strong Lakeland Christian squad.

2. Trinity Christian Academy Jacksonville (0-0)

Previous week: 4

After being off last week, the Conquerors get their season going on the road on Tuesday against Beachside. They will play three games this week, including Friday at North Marion.

3. Marjory Stoneman Douglas (1-1)

Previous week: 1

While the Eagles suffered a setback, losing 1-0 to True North Classical Academy, they opened their season with a 10-0 victory against Killian. The schedule doesn’t get any easier with a showdown on Tuesday at North Broward Prep.

4. Jesuit Tampa (1-1)

Previous week: 2

Jesuit opened with a quality win against Lakeland Christian, 3-1. But in the following game, the Tigers suffered a 3-1 setback to Calvary Christian Academy Clearwater. 

5. North Broward Prep (3-0)

Previous week: 7

Playing three times in a week is a challenge to a pitching staff. Still, the Eagles pulled it off, winning all three. Next up is a home game against Stoneman Douglas on Tuesday.

6. Doral Academy (1-1)

Previous week: 6

Beating multiple top-tier teams in a week is difficult, no matter who you are. The Firebirds found themselves in that spot by opening with a 7-5 comeback win at American Heritage Plantation. But two days later, at home the Firebirds fell 3-1 to Westminster Christian.

7. American Heritage Plantation (2-1)

Previous week: 5

Losing a heartbreaker at home to Doral Academy could have been demoralizing for the Patriots. That night, they let a 5-3 lead in the seventh inning disappear. But Heritage responded with two quality wins, including going on the road to beat defending Class 6A state champion, Dwyer.

8. South Walton (2-0)

Previous rank: 8

In its first two games, South Walton has been dominant, outscoring its opponents, 29-0.

10. Calvary Christian Academy Clearwater (3-0)

Previous rank: 23

Off to a terrific start, the Warriors jumped from No. 23 to into the Top 10. Beating Jesuit, 3-1, certainly helped. 

11. Lincoln Tallahassee (2-0)

Impressive in their first two games, the Trojans are coming off a 4-0 win at Menendez St. Augustine. This will be a tough week with games on tap Tuesday against St. Johns Country Day on Monday and Arnold Panama City Beach on Thursday.
