PG National High School Top 50: April 12

For the first time in well over a month, the Perfect Game Top 50 High School team rankings has a new No. 1 team. After Coppell (Texas) lost last week, Marjory Stoneman Douglas (Fla.) takes over as the top team in the nation. Right behind them at No. 2 are fellow Floridians Archbishop McCarthy, followed by Orange Lutheran (Calif.) at No. 3. Coppell slides to No. 4, with Walton (Ga.) rounding out the top 5. 

The back half of the top 10 remains unchanged from a week ago, with each team having a perfect week as they jockey to get into the top 5. JSerra (Calif.), Barbe (La.), Hamilton (Ariz.), Oxford (Miss.) and Buchanan (Calif.) remain in the hunt. 

Buford (Ga.) is right on the cusp of the top 10 at No. 11, while newcomer Lake Travis (Texas) makes their ranking debut at No. 12. Canterbury (Fla.), Dallas Jesuit (Texas) and Rockledge (Fla.) all rose this week, and they round out the top 15. 

In addition to Lake Travis at 12, Davis (Calif.) debuts in the rankings this week, checking in at No. 27. Several schools from Midwestern and Northeastern states have begun to stake their claims and make their cases for higher rankings, with a pair of Kansas schools – St. Thomas Aquinas (Kan.) and Shawnee Mission East (Kan.) – both riding elite-level arms in Riley Pint and Joey Wentz, respectively. Both of those schools are certainly in the hunt to shoot up the list in the coming weeks. 

St. Joseph Regional and Gloucester Catholic, both New Jersey schools, are off to strong starts, as is Malvern Prep (Pa.). Brother Rice (Mich.) has a big week coming up, a week that should tell us a lot about them as a team.

Believe it or not, the regular season has just about wrapped up in the state of Florida, so our newly-anointed top two schools will have some work to do in the playoffs if they want to remain at the top.
