HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL RANKINGS

http://blogs.mcall.com/varsity/2012/04/district-11-baseball-ratings-update.html FROM THE MORNING CALL With three weeks left in the high school baseball regular season, eight teams have already locked up District 11 playoff berths. A bunch of others could join them with good weeks this week, provided the rain moves out of the area. Below is the full rundown in each classification. Liberty (4A), Lehighton (3A), Salisbury (2A) and Tri-Valley (A) currently lead their brackets, though league champions are given preferential seeding for the District 11 playoffs. Teams must be .500 within their league or overall to qualify for districts.
