THE POWER RANKINGS: Johnson, Liberty Hill, Cedar Ridge still perched atop Austin area Softball chart
Buda Johnson, Liberty Hill and Cedar Ridge survived the week unscathed and remained atop this week’s softball Power Rankings – but they’d better be watching their mirrors.
Dripping Springs has climbed to fourth in the poll after defeating #9 Lake Travis, #8 Del Valle and Weiss. (The Lady Wolves were unrated at the time but have since cracked this week’s poll at #15 with wins over Little Rover Academy and an impressive win over now-#7 Georgetown.) Bowie entered the Top 5 and Stony Point also moved up after both teams swept their opponents.
Del Valle remained at #8 despite their loss to Dripping Springs, largely because the teams immediately behind them – Lake Travis, Leander and Bastrop – split their weeks and couldn’t completely take advantage. East View and Rouse each moved up a spot as Westlake fell out of the Rankings.
Here are the Rankings heading into the final week of the regular season.
