High School Baseball Area Top 20

Apaches gathering together for a run at the Pacific

It’s early. We’re only a week in but we’ve been able to get a read on some teams. St. Francis won the Arcadia Elks Tournament but they had to beat Steve Gewecke’s Alhambra team in the final. Arcadia knocked off Temple City early in the tourney behind senior hurler Garrett Tuck. South Hills advanced to the Final in the Don Lugo Tourney before falling to Chino Hills. El Rancho is undefeated after four games. If you have any thoughts, rants, raves or baseball scoop e mail Tim at tspeterson32@yahoo.com.
