The Top 5
There was little movement in our Power 25 Rankings this week and Barbe checks in at the top spot again after going 3-0 last week to improve to 23-1 on the year. The Bucs beat New Iberia and then swept Lafayette in two close, low scoring games.
Brother Martin stays at the #2 spot this week after another impressive 4-0 week to push their overall record to 23-2. The Crusaders beat St. Paul's and Warren Easton, before a two game sweep of Archbishop Rummel to remain undefeated in district play.
Catholic BR got back on track in Week 6 by winning all four of their games and now sit at 21-2 overall. Freshman Jack Stokes made a statement last week by going 4-for-5 (.800) with 3 home runs and 6 runs batted in.
Benton improved their overall record to 18-2-2 ater winning all three of their games last week. The Tigers swept Captain Shreve and beat Haughton to remain undefeated in district play.
Sam Houston moves up a spot to #5 after going 3-0 last week to improve their overall record to 18-6 on the year. Senior Carson Christ had a big week for the Broncos at the plate. The uncommitted senior went 7-for-12 (.583) with 2 home runs, 4 runs batted in, and 6 runs scored.
Risers
+ Zachary moves up our Power 25 Rankings this week all the way to #6 after going 3-0 last week with a big come-from-behind win over Northshore last Tuesday night. Senior Braden Sanders went 6-for-9 with a home run, 2 doubles, 6 runs batted in, and 4 stolen bases. His home run was a go-ahead grand slam in the top of the 7th inning against Northshore.
+ Hahnville jumps back into the Power 25 Rankings at the #14 spot after a big Week 6, which included a two-game sweep over a really good Vandebilt Catholic club. Junior Landen Teague went 7-for-12 (.583) with a home run, 2 doubles, 1 triple, and 7 runs batted in for the Tigers.
+ Central BR has been one of the hottest teams in the state, which is why they're back in the Power 25 Rankings this week at #18. The Wildcats have won eleven straight games and they picked up four wins last week with two big ones over Parkview Baptist and Northshore.
