Jones might be the top talent in the Tampa area in his age band. Jones netted seven goals in his first six matches and has played a key role in Tampa Prep’s undefeated start and lofty national ranking.

Judge won’t appear too often in the box scores, but he’s dominating play in the midfield for a Plant team that appears poised to make another run at a state title. Plant is 10-1-1. Judge has yet to score, but has five assists and does a lot of the dirty work that leads to the team’s success.
