The Eagles won Florida’s Class 3A state championship and soundly defeated Villages Charter School, 87-51. Calvary Christian Academy’s only loss this season came against the No. 2 nationally ranked Paul VI Catholic (Va.) at the City of Palms tournament down in Fort Myers.

4. Southeastern Prep Falcons (26-7)

Right on the heels of many top national high school boys basketball teams is that of the Southeastern Prep Falcons (26-7), which have looked every bit of the part as an elite team. Of the seven losses Southeastern Prep has taken this season, two came against No. 3 Columbus and Dynamic Prep (TX) by a combined seven-point margin. The Falcons feature a bevy of talent in the frontcourt, with 5-star Plus power forward C.J. Rosser and 7-foot center Obinna Ekezie Jr. 

5. Columbus Explorers (26-6)

The Columbus Explorers (26-6) as they’ve shown they’ll remain a cog in the national rankings and won a fourth straight Florida’s Class 7A state championship when they narrowly defeated Sarasota. The roster is filled with Division I talent, led by five-star small forward Miami hurricanes commit Caleb Gaskins. The Explorers have played plenty of the powerhouses from other states as they recently took part in the City of Palms tourney in Fort Myers. Columbus only six losses have come to Dynamic Prep (TX), The Principia School (MO), St. Thomas Aquinas (Fla.), St. John Bosco (Calif.) and twice to Sierra Canyon (Calif.), respectively.
