MaxPreps High School Top 50 boys baseball national rankings

The Eagles took over the top spot last week, moving ahead of Montverde Academy (Montverde, Fla.) because it is undefeated and it is participating in a postseason tournament. Neither No. 2 Montverde Academy nor No. 3 Riverdale Baptist (Upper Marlboro, Md.) played in a state playoff tournament this year since they are independent.

That does not mean that Montverde Academy can't finish the season No. 1. Should Argyle lose in the semifinals or finals, look for Montverde Academy to move into the top spot since the next 11 teams below it have already completed their seasons.

Argyle meets Jasper in one semifinal matchup and could meet either Sweeny or Godley in the championship game. All games at the Texas state tournament are single elimination.
