The Florida high school boys basketball 2025-26 campaign is right on the doorstep of the postseason as district tournament will begin next week around the state.
Leading the way in Florida high school boys basketball is the nationally ranked Prolific Prep The Crew, as the country’s most talented team is sitting with a record of 23-3 and right behind them is Montverde Academy. 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’s top teams heading into the latter end of January?
The Massey Ratings, officially used during the BCS era, is a model that ranks sports teams by analyzing game outcomes, strength of schedule, and margin of victory.
Here’s a look at the top 25 Florida high school boys basketball teams in the state of Indiana according to the Massey Ratings, which ranks teams by analyzing game outcomes, strength of schedule and margin of victory, as of Jan. 27.
1. Prolific Prep The Crew (23-3)
Prolific Prep (23-3) 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’s team, which it includes 5-star Plus Bruce Branch III and five-stars Caleb Holt, Nasir Anderson.
2. Montverde Academy Eagles (10-4)
Montverde Academy (10-4) is beginning to play its best basketball 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’s 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 Dynamic Prep (TX), Wasatch Academy (UT), No. 2 Link Academy (MO) and No. 4 Southeastern Prep. A game we’re looking forward to is the Feb. 6 matchup with former Montverde Academy coach Kevin Boyle and SPIRE Academy (OH).
3. Calvary Christian Academy Eagles (15-1)
At No. 3 in our latest Florida high school boys basketball rankings is the Calvary Christian Academy Eagles (15-1). The Eagles have raced through the first 16 games of the season looking more and more like the favorite in Florida’s Class 3A classification. Calvary Christian Academy’s only loss this season came against the No. 2 nationally ranked Paul VI Catholic (Va.) at the City of Palms tournament down in Fort Myers. The Eagles are led by the superb play of 6-foot-7 forward Collin Paul, who is committed to Florida State. Calvary Christian ends regular season play tonight against Coconut Creek.
4. Southeastern Prep Falcons (18-7)
Right on the heels of many top national high school boys basketball teams is that of the Southeastern Prep Falcons (18-7), 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 Columbus and Dynamic Prep (TX) by a combined seven-point margin. The Falcons feature a bevy of talent in the frontcourt, with 5-star Plus power forward C.J. Rosser and 7-foot center Obinna Ekezie Jr.
5. Columbus Explorers (14-6)
The Columbus Explorers (14-6) as they’ve shown they’ll remain a cog in the national rankings with the team they bring back. The roster is filled with Division I talent, led by five-star small forward Miami hurricanes commit Caleb Gaskins. 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 Dynamic Prep (TX), The Principia School (MO), St. Thomas Aquinas (Fla.),
St. John Bosco (Calif.) and twice to Sierra Canyon (Calif.), respectively. The Explorers close out the season versus No. 1 Prolific Prep on Saturday.
