Another week of action means its time for another update to the Power 25. Spring breaks have just about come to a close, with Bishop O'Connell being one of the few teams on break last week. The Knights went 5-0 en route to winning the Mingo Bay Classic, and that will power them to re-enter the rankings this week. Also entering the rankings this week are Hayfield, Millbrook, and Jefferson Forest.
The Hawks are now 13-1 on the season and are unbeaten in National District play so far. Hayfield also went 5-0 in their pool in the Fairfax County Spring Break Tournament, capping off that perfect run with a win over Herndon this week after weather wreaked havoc with the tournament when it was scheduled earlier this month.
Also back into the rankings this week is Millbrook. The Pioneers took down James Wood in an 11-inning marathon last week to capture their second win against them. Last week the Pioneers snapped Sherando's previously unbeaten record and the Pioneers are on a seven game winning streak and remain unbeaten in Northwestern District play.
Lastly, re-entering the rankings is also Jefferson Forest, which has dominated all of its opponents in the Lynchburg area except Liberty Christian. The Cavaliers will get a rematch with the Bulldogs on May 3 in what will easily be one of the top matchups next week.
