As the first couple weeks of the high school season are wrapping up, which included a variety of tournaments across the country and the always talent-filled PG High School Showdown, we’ve got the first update of the spring to the PG National High School Top 50. While there’s a ton of movement throughout the teams on this list, many teams from the northern parts of the country have still yet to get going this spring so many were moved by the success, or lack thereof, of the teams from the warm-weather regions that have been playing already.

Starting at the top, there was no movement among the first seven teams in the rankings as they’ve combined to go 45-2 in the early spring. Orange Lutheran (Calif.), the No. 1 team in the rankings, is 7-1 through their first eight games with five of those wins coming against teams in the top-30 and two of them coming against top-10 teams. No. 2 IMG Academy (Fla.) is coming off a championship finish at the PG High School Showdown, No. 3 Stoneman Douglas (Fla.) looks like the cohesive team that won a national title a year ago, No. 4 Orchard Lake St. Mary’s (Mich.) has yet to play a game and No. 5 Hamilton (Ariz.) has some impressive wins early on.



No. 6 Buford (Ga.) has started out 10-0 like many expected with wins over two of Florida’s more talented teams this spring while No. 7 Bishop Gorman (Nev.) has been dominant and sits just a game behind at 9-0. Barbe (La.) jumps up into the No. 8 position as they’ve started the year at an impressive 15-0 while outscoring opponents 150-16, Southlake Carroll (Texas) holds strong at No. 9 with an 8-2 record that includes wins over two top-20 teams and Calvary Christian (Fla.) rounds out the top-10 at 8-0 with only five runs allowed on the early spring.

We’ve got a handful of big movers in the rankings within this first update, and it starts just outside the top-10 as Auburn (Ala.) moves up to No. 11 after a strong 9-1 start and Houston County (Ga.) moves up as many spots to No. 12 behind a pair of big wins and a 10-2 record. Tompkins (Texas) and Sierra Canyon (Calif.) made massive jumps each to No. 13 and No. 14, respectively, as Tompkins has started the spring 13-0 and Sierra Canyon has been pretty dominant as well at 11-0. Santa Margarita Catholic (Calif.) jumped up a few spots to No. 20 after a strong showing at the PG West Coast Showdown, Hoover (Ala.) moved up double-digits to No. 27 after a runner-up finish at the High School Showdown, Yucaipa (Calif.) moves to No. 30 with a 7-2 record and a good win over Harvard-Westlake and Berkeley Prep (Fla.) is 9-0, which helped them move up to No. 33.

Eight new teams joined the national rankings this week and they come from coast to coast. Owasso (Okla.) makes the highest debut of the group this week, coming in at No. 36 with a dominant start in-state while Central Phenix (Ala.), who took home one of the High School Showdown championships, joins at No. 40. The following six teams came in as follows: St. John’s Country Day (Fla.) at No. 42, Stockdale (Calif.) at No. 43, Allatoona (Ga.) at No. 47, Red Mountain (Ariz.) at No. 48, Northwest Rankin (Miss.) at No. 49 and Hartselle (Ala.) at No. 50.

Dropped Out: University Liggett (Mich.), Bartram Trail (Fla.), North Paulding (Ga.), American Fork (Utah), Rockwall (Texas), Grand Blanc (Mich.), Bishop Hendricken (R.I.), Blue Valley Southwest (Kan.)
