LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Buford stayed undefeated and the highest 10 groups have been unchanged within the NFCA Summer time/Fall Excessive Faculty High 25 Coaches Ballot.
The highest-ranked and reigning Georgia 7A champion (23-0) Wolves gained three extra contests to increase their win streak to 30 video games with a 15-0 rout of Central Gwinnett on Wednesday. Buford’s final defeat was a 1-0 playoff loss to Lambert within the Georgia Class 7A Tremendous Regionals. The Wolves have been the highest staff within the ballot for the previous seven rankings, and 10 weeks general courting again to final yr.
The one staff within the prime 10 to endure a loss was No. 2 Gretna (26-2) — a 4-2 defeat by the hands of then-No. 19 Millard North (22-4), which moved as much as sixteenth this week with the victory. Third-ranked Caddo (36-2) accomplished a 5-0 week, whereas No. 5 Eaton (13 video games) and sixth-ranked Blue Springs South (16 video games) are within the midst of lengthy win streaks. Amongst Blue Springs’ triumphs was a second victory over No. 12 Raymore-Peculiar within the final two weeks, 3-1 on Monday.
Elsewhere, No. 22 Papillion-LaVista (23-7) returned to the ballot after every week absence, and Damaged Arrow dropped out after two losses over the previous seven days.
State rankings submitted by the 2023 NFCA Excessive Faculty Steering Committee are used to compile the NFCA Summer time/Fall Excessive Faculty High 25 Coaches Ballot. Groups are chosen based mostly on efficiency, roster high quality, power of schedule, and lively NFCA membership. 5 states — Colorado, Georgia, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Missouri — play a fall fastpitch schedule, whereas Iowa not too long ago accomplished its summer time season.
