LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Lake Creek opens the 2023 USA TODAY Sports/NFCA High School Super 25 in the same spot it finished last season — the No. 1 spot.
The defending Texas state 5A champion Lions are off to a perfect 21-0 start to top the rankings for a 16th consecutive week, dating back to week three of last year (March 24). Lake Creek has won its last five contests by a 45-2 margin and has a district game up next on Friday at Magnolia West.
Perennial state and national powers Roncalli (Ind.) and Benton (Ark.) start second and third, respectively, while nine-time defending Mississippi state 5A titlist Neshoba Central (4-0) — the last school before Lake Creek to be ranked No. 1 — is fourth. Fellow unbeaten North Augusta (2-0), which won its first South Carolina state 4A championship last season, rounds out the top five.
