For the first time in more than a month, there was no change at No. 1.

McKinney Boyd (McKinney, Texas) boys and St. Johns Country Day (Orange Park, Fla.) girls remain atop the rankings this week with perfect records.

The high school seasons in three states will start to draw to a close soon, but one perennial powerhouse is already finished. Montverde Academy (Montverde, Fla.) completed an eighth straight undefeated season last week. The Eagles are ranked No. 3 in this week's FAB 50 and will finish no lower than that spot this year.
