National HS Top 50: May 19

National High School Top 50: May 11

With the high school state championships ramping up, and wrapping up in several cases, this week's edition of the Top 50 has seen the most movement of any edition so far this season.

Our top three (Parkview, Ga., Buford, Ga., Park Vista, Fla.) have stayed the same, as all three schools are still winning in the state playoffs. We have several State Champions in the Top 50, with huge congratulations due to each team:

• Barbe High School won the Louisiana 5A State Championship for the second consecutive year. Sulphur High School lost to Barbe in the final; so they ended up No. 2 in the state class of 5A

• Perennial power Archbishop McCarthy won the Florida 5A State Championship, beating Mosley in the final.

• St. Thomas More won the Louisiana 4A State Championship

Making their debut in the rankings this week is Owasso (Okla.) High School, and deservedly so after a 28-5 season that saw them capture the Oklahoma 6A State Championship.

Another school making their rankings debut is Venice High School after they won the Florida 4A State Championship. Also new this week is Oak Ridge (Texas) High School, as they make the charge towards the state title in Texas.

Brother Rice (Mich.) won their fourth straight Catholic League title, defeating Divine Child in the final. They will now move onto the Michigan State Playoffs.

Good luck to the rest of the teams in our Top 50, as well as to the rest of the teams across the nation, as they continue play in their respective state playoffs this week.
