New to the rankings are Plantation American Heritage and Wakulla, who have joined the top tier this week and are eager to prove themselves against the best. Wakulla did suffer a loss against Calvary Christian earlier in the season but bounced back with a solid win against Eustis, highlighting their resilience.
Star Players to Keep an Eye On
One player of note is Morgen Talley, who has returned for her senior season and is committed to North Carolina State. She is pivotal for Lake Brantley’s chances at bragging rights in the Class 3A state title. Another standout is Ella Verne from Mitchell, whose return as a pitcher this season is generating buzz as she looks to dominate in Central Florida.
Lake Brantley is also blessed with strong pitching thanks to the return of Isabella Rosales and Lauren Compton, forming a duo that’s difficult for any opponent to face. Meanwhile, University Christian is outscoring their rivals with a jaw-dropping tally of 122-6—that’s a serious offensive punch!
