Today we are releasing our final 2023 update to the Virginia/DC Power 25.
St. Johns finishes the year in the top spot after one of the most dominant seasons in recent memory. One hiccup on the resume with the loss to Paul VI in the WCAC semifinal series, but otherwise unscathed. The Cadets won the WCAC Championship in convincing fashion, sweeping Gonzaga in the finals.
Moving up to No. 2 and No. 3 are the VHSL Class 6 and Class 5 Champs, Madison and Frank Cox. Also entering the final rankings are Class 4 champs Hanover, Class 3 champs New Kent, and the Class 1 champs, Lebanon.
See the complete Power 25 below.
