LOUISVILLE, Ky. \u2014 Unbeaten Buford won three more games this week to strength its position as the No. 1 team in the NFCA<\/a> Summer\/Fall High School Top 25 Coaches Poll.<\/p>\n

The (11-0) Wolves allowed just one run combined while scoring 31 in victories over Central Gwinnett, Collins Hill and Wesleyan. The top team in the rankings for a third week this season \u2014 and sixth consecutive poll dating back to last year \u2014 has Dakula up next later today.<\/p>\n

The next two teams swapped places, with still-perfect Caddo (19-0) leapfrogging Gretna (13-1) for the second slot. The Dragons\u2019 only loss in a 6-1 week came Saturday to new No. 20 Papillion-LaVista (9-4) in the final of the NFCA Kaiti Williams Memorial Leadoff Classic. Caddo, meanwhile, added six more victories to its season ledger.<\/p>\n

Holy Family (9-0), Seward (8-0), Horizon (10-0) and East Paulding (13-1) all gained one place, ahead of unbeaten poll newcomer Grandview (5-0), Turner (17-2) and Columbine (9-1) in the top 10.<\/p>\n

Perennial Missouri powers Blue Springs South (7-2) and Washington (9-1-1) are the other two teams making their 2023 ranking debuts, at Nos. 13 and 17, respectively.<\/p>\n
