The regular season is complete, and the heavy lifting begins will preliminary-round tournament games in all four NHIAA divisions Thursday. Not only will Pinkerton Academy be trying to win back-to-back Division I championships, the Astros can also go wire-to-wire as the No. 1 team in the state rankings.

In addition to Pinkerton, this week's top 10 features five other Division I teams, the top three teams in Division II and a Division III team that's in the top 10 for the first time this season. By this time next week only 16 high school teams will still be playing baseball in New Hampshire.
