The six teams from 6th to 11th won all their games last week to hold down their spots. Gateway Prep out of Georgetown surged into the rankings at #12 as the only 4A club while Hays slipped down to #13. Westlake bounced back from a loss to #8 Bowie to knock off arch-rival Lake Travis in the softball version of “Battle of the Lakes” and remained at #14 with Bastrop climbing into the mix at #15.
As with baseball, Spring Break mixes up the schedule this week with most teams playing early in the week before decamping for a breather. Here’s how they stack up so far.
