LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Georgia’s East Coweta and Nebraska’s Papillion-LaVista are still the unchallenged top two in the NFCA Fall High School Top 25 Coaches Poll.
East Coweta (27-0) won three more games to remain at No. 1 for a sixth straight week, while Papillion-LaVista (28-0) also stayed perfect and second in the rankings for a fourth week.
Meanwhile, Wesleyan (25-0) won twice to replace fellow Georgia school Westfield (17-1) at No. 3, while North Gwinnett (24-1) and Collins-Maxwell (27-1) also moved up to round out the first five.
Oklahoma’s Broken Arrow (32-2) has now won 17 straight and returns to the rankings for the first time since the initial poll on Aug. 29 at 12th, while Missouri’s Raymore-Peculiar (18-2) jumps into the mix at No. 17 after a recent 5-0 shutout of Blue Springs South.
Oklahoma’s Roff and Missouri’s Troy-Buchanan dropped out.
State rankings submitted by NFCA member coaches are used to compile the NFCA Fall High School Top 25 Coaches Poll. Teams are chosen based on performance, roster quality and strength of schedule. Five states — Colorado, Georgia, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Missouri — play a fall fastpitch schedule, while Iowa recently completed its summer season.
