Despite miserable weather and horrible playing conditions, the 2011 season is in the books, which means we once again bring to you the final state team rankings.

Lyons Township?s 8-3 victory over preseason No. 1 Providence Catholic in the Class 4A state championship game vaulted the Lions to the top spot after sitting in the No. 2 spot for the last half of the season. Providence dropped to No. 2, while two-time defending Class 2A champion Teutopolis vaults to the No. 3 spot. Don?t get fooled by Teutopolis being a small school; the Wooden Shoes have an abundance of talent, including the most dominant pitcher in the state, left-hander Derek Thompson, who allowed only one earned run all season.

Settling in at No. 4 is Prospect, which made a late postseason run behind junior Jack Landwehr to take third place in Class 4A. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the 2011 season was Glenbrook North, which comes in at No. 4 after falling to Prospect in the supersectionals.

Mount Carmel, which finished fourth in Class 4A, sits at No. 5 in the final poll. Plainfield North, Streamwood, Pleasant Plains and Normal West round out the final top 10 teams.
