Three schools, 20 minutes apart, are among the top five girls varsity programs in Florida. Their past pedigree – they have combined for seven state championships – means all three, Ponte Vedra, St. Johns Bartram Trail and St. Johns Creekside have their sights set on adding to their trophy haul this year.
The Florida high school soccer season may be at its midway point, but the state’s best appear to have separated from the rest.
With the exception of South Walton (8-1, Class 4A) and Land O’Lakes Sunlake (15-1, 6A) every program in the statewide Top 10 has played in multiple state championship games.
The reigning champions in five of the state’s six classifications – Bartram Trail, Plantation American Heritage, Orlando Bishop Moore, Montverde Academy and Lakeland Christian – appear to be in good position to make a run at another title.
Here is a look at Florida’s best.
