All four of the No. 1 teams in the Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association state baseball rankings remained the same this week once again.

Sioux City East, which suffered just its second loss of the year, is still atop the Class 4A Top 10. The team that defeated them this past weekend, West Des Moines Valley, entered into the rankings at No. 10.

Indianola, Cedar Rapids Prairie, Waukee, Cedar Rapids Kennedy, Pleasant Valley, Johnston, Cedar Falls and Urbandale round out the rankings in the state’s largest classification.

Despite the weekend loss, the Black Raiders are still the top overall team in the latest High School On SI Iowa State Baseball Rankings.

With a record of 27-3, Dubuque Wahlert Catholic remains the team to beat in Class 3A. Marion is right behind them, followed by Solon, Carlisle and Cedar Rapids Xavier to round out the Top 5.

The district pairings for both Class 4A and Class 3A should be released shortly. The state baseball tournament begins in late July.
