Prep Baseball Report

Power 25 - Week 5


Buddy Gouldsmith
Nevada Scouting Director

PBR Nevada recognizes and appreciates the strength of schedule of the Diamondbacks of Desert Oasis (DO). DO represented the state of Nevada last week at the National High School Invitational Tournament held by USA Baseball in Cary, NC.  In spite of the D'Backs 1-3 record during the week, they retain the top spot in this week's Power 25 Nevada Team Rankings for the 4A level.  Palo Verde follows at #2 and is making a strong push to regain their pre-season #1. We welcome Cimarron-Memorial to the Top 10 as Bishop Manogue exits.

Class 3A rankings remain the same as a week ago while the class 2A top five welcomes newcomer Incline to the ranks who is off to a 9-1 start.

There was some juggling at the 1A level as Tonoapah suffered a tough week and Smith Valley and Beatty climb a notch.

Below is a complete list of the the PBR Nevada Power 25.
