Hays swept their week to continue climbing the ladder to #11 ahead of Round Rock, both just ahead of newcomer Bastrop who debuted at #13. Gateway Prep, once again the highest ranked 4A club, settled in behind the Lady Bears at #14.
We don’t have a #15. All of the teams listed as “On the radar” are hovering at or around .500. If/when one of them sweeps a week and looks like they’re gathering momentum, we’ll slot them in the Rankings. Until then, we’re just guessing so we’ll guess equally until someone gets on a roll.
And with that, here’s how they stand heading into Easter Week.
