The Indiana High School Baseball Coaches Association has released its fifth set of polls for the 2009 season, and a pair of schools has leapt into their respective Top 10s from the ranks of the unranked.
Bloomington North now resides in an eighth-place tie with Anderson Highland (up from 11th) in Class 4A, while Cass has made a similar leap into a tie for the 2A eighth spot with Wapahani (up from 10th). Got all that?
Otherwise, it’s not a big week for helter skelter as the baseball polls finally begin to assume some sense of normalcy. Still, there are some changes of note:
In 4A, Indianapolis Cathedral moves from seventh into a fourth-place tie with Penn, which is up from eighth.
In 3A, Bellmont goes from 14th to sixth, while Mt. Vernon (Fortville) rises from 17th to 10th.
In 2A, Boone Grove bumps up from fourth to second, Westview ascends from sixth to third, Elwood moves from ninth to seventh, and Lawrenceburg goes from 14th to 10th.
And in 1A, Attica moves from fifth to third, Lafayette Central Catholic rises from seventh to fifth, Washington Township goes from ninth into a tie for sixth with Tecumseh, and Trinity Lutheran ascends from 14th to 10th.
