4. Sumrall baseball - a third No. 1 national rankingDespite losing its first game in nearly three years, the
Sumrall (Miss.) Bobcats finished 35-1, won a third straight Mississippi 3A state championship and ended the year ranked No. 1 by MaxPreps for the second year in a row. Another run at a No. 1 national ranking wouldn't be out of the question for the Bobcats as they return all-state standouts Connor Barron (SS), Austin Knight (C), and Luke Lowery (P).
