The Florida high school boys basketball 2025-26 campaign is in the midst of regional semifinal action as the quarterfinal round of the playoffs concluded last week around the corner for the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n
Continuing to top the latest set of Florida high school boys basketball Top 25 rankings is the\u00a0nationally ranked\u00a0Montverde Academy<\/a>, which is coming off a 68-62 win over La Lumiere School<\/a>, and right behind them\u00a0Prolific Prep The Crew<\/a>, as the state\u2019s second-ranked team is sitting with a record of 29-3. The Crew and Eagles has arguably the two most talented rosters in the country, but who else should we watch for out of Florida when it comes to the state\u2019s top teams heading into the latter end of February?<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The\u00a0Massey Ratings<\/a>, officially used during the BCS era, is a model that ranks sports teams by analyzing game outcomes, strength of schedule, and margin of victory.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a look at the top 25 Florida high school boys basketball teams in the state of Indiana according to the\u00a0Massey Ratings<\/a>, which ranks teams by analyzing game outcomes, strength of schedule and margin of victory, as of Feb. 16.<\/p>\n 1. Montverde Academy Eagles (17-4)<\/p>\n Montverde Academy<\/a>\u00a0(17-4) rises to the top of this week\u2019s rankings under the watch of Steve Turner, who is in his first season at the helm of the program as the Eagles have remained one of the country\u2019s best high school boys basketball programs. Though the Eagles have dropped a few games so far, all four have come against some of the most elite teams in the country in\u00a0Dynamic Prep<\/a>\u00a0(TX),\u00a0Wasatch Academy<\/a>\u00a0(UT), No. 2\u00a0Link Academy<\/a>\u00a0(MO) and No. 4\u00a0Southeastern Prep<\/a>. Montverde Academy closes out the regular season slate with games against The St. James Academy<\/a> (Va.), Christ School<\/a> (NC) and Tennessee Collegiate Academy<\/a>.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n 2. Prolific Prep The Crew (29-3)<\/p>\n Prolific Prep<\/a>\u00a0(29-3) was once based out Napa, California before moving their operations to Fort Lauderdale ahead of the 2025-26 season. Nothing has changed since heading to the Sunshine State as The Crew has only lost three games this season, with a loss to nationally ranked Dynamic Prep (TX), No. 2 Montverde Academy and Tennessee Collegiate Academy, respectively. Prolific Prep features a star-studded cast of players on this season\u2019s team, which it includes 5-star Plus\u00a0Bruce Branch III<\/a>\u00a0and five-stars\u00a0Caleb Holt<\/a>,\u00a0Nasir Anderson<\/a>. The Crew has games left against Wesley Christian<\/a> and West Oaks Academy<\/a>.<\/p>\n 3. Calvary Christian Academy Eagles (18-1)<\/p>\n Checking in at No. 3 in our latest Florida high school boys basketball Top 25 rankings is the\u00a0Calvary Christian Academy<\/a>\u00a0Eagles (18-1). The Eagles have raced through the first 16 games of the season looking more and more like the favorite in Florida\u2019s Class 3A classification. Calvary Christian Academy\u2019s only loss this season came against the No. 2 nationally ranked\u00a0Paul VI Catholic<\/a>\u00a0(Va.) at the City of Palms tournament down in Fort Myers. The Eagles are led by the superb play of 6-foot-7 forward\u00a0Collin Paul<\/a>, who is committed to Florida State. Calvary Christian opened up the FHSAA playoffs with a 78-22 region quarterfinal win over Bishop Verot<\/a> and will take on Cardinal Newman<\/a> in the semifinals.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n 4. Southeastern Prep Falcons (23-7)<\/p>\n Right on the heels of many top national high school boys basketball teams is that of the\u00a0Southeastern Prep<\/a>\u00a0Falcons (23-7), 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\u00a0Columbus<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Dynamic Prep<\/a>\u00a0(TX) by a combined seven-point margin. The Falcons feature a bevy of talent in the frontcourt, with 5-star Plus power forward\u00a0C.J. Rosser<\/a>\u00a0and 7-foot center\u00a0Obinna Ekezie Jr.<\/a>\u00a0Southeastern Prep\u2019s lone game on the slate is against West Oaks Academy<\/a> on Feb. 27.<\/p>\n 5. Columbus Explorers (20-6)<\/p>\n The\u00a0Columbus<\/a>\u00a0Explorers (20-6) as they\u2019ve shown they\u2019ll remain a cog in the national rankings and are the favorites to win Florida\u2019s Class 7A once again. The roster is filled with Division I talent, led by five-star small forward Miami hurricanes commit\u00a0Caleb Gaskins<\/a>. 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\u00a0Dynamic Prep<\/a>\u00a0(TX),\u00a0The Principia School<\/a>\u00a0(MO),\u00a0St. Thomas Aquinas<\/a>\u00a0(Fla.),\u00a0St. John Bosco<\/a>\u00a0(Calif.) and\u00a0twice to\u00a0Sierra Canyon<\/a>\u00a0(Calif.), respectively. The Explorers opened up the FHSAA Class 7A region quarterfinals with a 75-41 win over Doral Academy<\/a> and next up will face Western<\/a> in the semis.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Massey Ratings Florida High School Boys Basketball Rankings Nos. 11-25<\/p>\n 6.\u00a0IMG Academy<\/a>\u00a0Ascenders (20-11) 11.\u00a0Riviera Prep<\/a>\u00a0Bulldogs (17-9) 16.\u00a0NSU University School<\/a>\u00a0Sharks (19-4) Advertisement<\/p>\n 21.\u00a0Impact Christian Academy<\/a>\u00a0Lions (19-4)
