PBR Power 25: May 4th, 2021
May 4, 2021
The PBR Power 25 is the only North Carolina High School Baseball poll that captures every team in North Carolina, regardless of classification or affiliation. The PBR Power 25 is voted on by PBR staff and posted every other week, once the high school season begins.
This is the 3rd year of the PBR Power 25 in NC and it features some familiar names from years past. We are excited to be able to do it again after the pandemic shortened season in 2020. Private schools have been playing since February and now that public schools are in action we can begin to get a feel for who is the best of the best in North Carolina High School Baseball.
PBR continues to be the number 1 source for high school baseball coverage in North Carolina and across the country. Our coverage of North Carolina has already begun and you can see some of the information in the links below:
