Olympia still king of Super Six

- By Andre Rodriguez Orlando Sentinel Correspond­ent

ORLANDO — Titles were claimed and statements were made in boys soccer district tournament­s last week, leading to a shakeup in the Sentinel Super Six rankings.

Bishop Moore and Winter Park make their Super Six debuts after both finished the regular season strong and won district titles.

Olympia remains No. 1 after winning the Class 5A, District 4 title over West Orange in comeback fashion. Celebratio­n, Lake Mary and Hagerty round out the rest of the rankings.

The second six also got a facelift, including the debut of DeLand.

District champions host region quarterfin­als Wednesday.

Here are the rankings, with records through district tourney play:

1. Olympia (16-2-3): After heading to halftime down 1-0 against West Orange, the Titans came back and won 2-1 to earn the Class 5A, District 4 championsh­ip. 2. Celebratio­n (18-1-2): The Storm celebrated a 3-1 overtime victory against Lakeland

George Jenkins on Friday, claiming their second consecutiv­e 5A, District 9 title.

3. Lake Mary (19-5-1): The Rams are better than their ranking indicates and they’re getting hot at the right time. They beat Hagerty for the second time in two weeks to win 5A, District 3.

4. Bishop Moore (25-3): The Hornets took down Lake Highland Prep to win 2A, District 7, revenging their regular-season loss to the Highlander­s and earning a spot in the Super Six.

5. Winter Park (12-2-1): The Wildcats, a district final winner over Timber Creek, were undefeated in their past 11 games going into a Tuesday region quarterfin­al at Showalter Field.

6. Hagerty (15-2-2): The Huskies are a strong team, but they’ve lost to Lake Mary — the only ranked team they’ve played — in games that decided conference and district championsh­ips.

Second six: 7. Timber Creek (12-4-1); 8. Lake Highland Prep (11-3-2); 9. Windermere (15-2-1); 10. West Orange (12-2-2); 11. DeLand (12-1-3); 12. Lake Nona (13-6-2).
