Arizona Power 25: Week 4 Update
March 18, 2024
In the latest update of the top 25 high school rankings, the Arizona staff has taken a careful approach, considering the limited action in the previous week. With most teams not playing, the rankings reflect a modest update.
However, significant wins and upsets from recent tournaments, notably the Boras Classic, have influenced the adjustments. Hamilton High School has surged to claim the number 1 spot, propelled by their impressive victory in this year's Boras Classic. Demonstrating a potent offense, Hamilton's triumph has solidified their position atop the rankings.

Meanwhile, Casteel High School, previously holding the top spot, slides to number 2 after a challenging loss to Chaparral High School in the Boras Classic semi-finals. With an opportunity for redemption on the horizon, Casteel looks to bounce back as they prepare to face Chaparral once again this week, setting the stage for an intense rematch.

While no new teams have cracked the top 25 this week, the Arizona staff is keenly watching the performance of bubble teams. Red Mountain, Highland, Cienega, Chandler, and Sunnyslope are all on the cusp of breaking into the rankings, and their performances in the coming week could have a significant impact on the standings.
As these teams vie for recognition, the competition promises to be fierce, adding to the excitement of high school baseball in Arizona.
