by Sheldon Shealer

February 2, 2016

BIG MOVERS -- BOYS: Byron Nelson (Trophy Club, Texas). The Bobcats' win over previously undefeated Denton Ryan coupled with Ryan's win last week over former SIMA FAB 50-ranked Keller Central help Byron Nelson jump 16 spots to No. 14 this week. GIRLS: [Hendrickson tx-] (Pflugerville, Texas). Hendrickson jumps from No. 39 to the thick of the SIMA FAB 50 national title chase -- at No. 4. The Austin-area school routed for Top 10-ranked [Westwood tx-w] (Austin, Texas) 4-0 to stay perfect and justify the major move.

NEWCOMERS: BOYS: No. 30 [30 South Broward (Hollywood) fl-m] (Hollywood, Fla.), No. 40 Redwood (Larkspur, Calif.) and No. 49 Mandeville (Mandeville, La.). GIRLS: No. 39 The Woodlands (The Woodlands, Texas), No. 40 [Ronald Reagan tx-w] (San Antonio, Texas), No. 41 Westlake (Austin, Texas), No. 44 JSerra (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.), No. 49 Oviedo (Oviedo, Fla.) and No. 50 Episcopal School of Dallas (Dallas, Texas).

LOOKING AHEAD: BOYS: No. 10 Belen Jesuit (Miami, Fla.) and No. 30 [South Broward (Hollywood) fl-m] (Hollywood, Fla.), a combined 37-0-5 this season, meet in a regional semifinal Tuesday night. GIRLS: The Florida state championships take place this week. The Class 1A semifinals were contested Monday night, and matches continue every day through Saturday as the state crowns five champions. It is likely all five state champions will be in the SIMA FAB 50 with as many as four in the Top 25. Also, this weekend, Brandon (Brandon, Miss.) and Madison Central (Madison, Miss.) will be the co-favorites in this year's Mississippi state playoffs, which comes to an end Saturday.
