LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Unbeaten Lake Creek continued to take care of business and benefited from rare losses for both of the top two teams to claim the No. 1 spot in the USA TODAY Sports/NFCA High School Super 25 this week.
The (20-0) Lions rolled past Porter, 8-0, on Tuesday in their only game to dethrone Neshoba Central at the top, where the (7-1) Rockets had lived for the past 13 weeks, dating to April 8, 2021. Neshoba lost 2-0 last Saturday to one-loss Northwest Rankin, which snapped a 53-game win streak for the eight-time reigning Mississippi state Class 5A champions, who are a stunning 117-2 over their last 119 contests.
Meanwhile, Lakewood Ranch (9-1) was routed Wednesday night at unbeaten Lake Brantley to fall out of the No. 2 spot. It was just the Mustangs’ fourth loss in their last 81 games. Lakewood Ranch gets a chance for revenge against the Patriots tonight at home.
