High School Baseball Rankings: Week of March 9-13

Spring is here and Baseball is underway in The Natural State. The Opening Week saw a couple of really competitive tournaments and some schools going out of state to play up in competition. Here are some Highlights from the opening week:

  • Cabot beat Bentonville 8-5 last Tuesday in a game played in Clarksville. Bryant took one on the chin against Lakeside but rebounded with a good showing in Texas. Fayetteville played against some Texas teams as well and had a good showing. NLR and Catholic played in the Benton Tourney and were arguably the top two left standing. Van Buren was runner up in the PBR Invitational.
  • Jonesboro had a big week looking to defend their 2019 PBR Tournament title. They lost 1-0 against Van Buren on Friday. Big showdown on Tuesday as they welcome Cabot. Sheridan is still getting everyone back from basketball, Benton has good pitching and defense but struggled to produce runs. Greenbrier showed well in Monroe, LA. Cayden Wallace showed why he is one of the top players in the nation.
  • Nashville won the Ralph Gross Memorial. Robinson swept the PBR Tournament and Shiloh won the Consolation Bracket. Tough deep class that will be fun to watch. Farmington really turned some heads with their performances this week.
  • A lot of teams still finishing up basketball but Gosnell started strong, CAC won 3 of 4, Harmony Grove played well against 6A Cabot and Harding Academy was 3-2 against higher class teams in the PBR. Smackover was the big riser this week going 6-1.
  • Bee Branch was only 1-3 this week but that was against teams with quadruple the enrollment. The Hornets are loaded on the mound. McCrory showed their offense is potent scoring 8 runs on Jonesboro, the pitching is just not that deep just yet to run at that level. The teams from the south traded blows early on and the last team standing in March will likely be at Baum.
  • 1A teams are just getting started. West Side won 3 of 4 and so did Taylor. We will have more from these teams as they get into conference play in the coming weeks.
