See an outfielder go above and beyond to record an outThere is only one change at the top of the five regions in this week's MaxPreps regional baseball rankings, and it's just a small one.
Ketcham, No. 2 in last week's Northeast region, swapped places with previous No. 1 Monroe-Woodbury.
In the South, Bryant holds the top spot in the region by itself after being tied for No. 1 last week with Sparkman.
Other No. 1 teams include Buchanan in the West, Brother Rice in the Midwest and Mountain Ridge in the Southwest.
The regional rankings are based on the
MaxPreps National Baseball Computer Rankings presented by the Army National Guard. The team's record and computer ranking are noted in the rankings. Numbers are current as of Tuesday.
The 50 states are divided into five regions as follows:
West: Hawaii, California, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska, Colorado.
Southwest: Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona.
South: Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia.
Midwest: North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas.
Northeast: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, West Virginia.
States not included: Montana and Wyoming (do not have baseball), Iowa (season is during the summer).
Ketcham is now the top team in the Northeast.
