Rock Bridge holds steady at No. 1, lots of movement in the Top 25



While the rain washed out many games last week, it wasn't enough to deter the Top 25 teams from playing and  making an impact in the rankings. Rock Bridge holds steady at No. 1, while Francis Howell jumps up three spots to No. 2, re-establishing themselves after suffering their first two losses of the season. Warsaw makes the biggest jump, moving up eights spots and scoring runs at an incredible pace.
