For the next two weeks we will roll out our Preseason Power 25. We will release three teams per day for the first week and then move to two teams per day once we reach the Top 10 next week. Voting for preseason teams centers more around the depth of talent on that team, the roster outlook, previous success with players on the roster, as well as where it stacks up within their region/area, as opposed to strictly predicting schedule outcomes. Our staff weighs ten different categories (i.e. offensive depth, impact players, frontline arm, pitching staff depth, sustained program success, etc). 

Generally, larger schools and classifications have a greater depth of player talent on roster. However, once the season begins and records begin to take shape, the Power 25 will be adjusted as needed. In addition to that, we will debut our Private School Top 10 around late-March/early-April and the Small School Top 10 around mid-April. This will allow teams to settle in and their schedule to begin to shake out. Our first overall Power 25 update, due to the VHSL season being pushed back a week, will come Monday, March 30th.

#23: Halifax County Comets

 

2025 Record: 17-7

Key Returning Players: Logan Clark (NC State), Garison Colwell (PHCC), Colin Hatcher, Bailee Henderson, Ryder Milam, Carter Thomasson (Ferrum)

Key Losses: Cole Bowen, CJ Farley, Elijah Seamster 

Season Outlook: The Comets had success throughout the season in 2025 and they return a lot of that production for 2026. They have the frontline arm in Logan Clark that can take the mound in the big games. They return some veterans at the top of the order in Colwell and Thomasson. The key for this team is having some improved production behind these seniors on the mound and offensively. If the younger guys on this roster can provide some protection for the seniors, then it would help them as they get deeper into the season.
