Dallas-area baseball rankings (4/8): Waxahachie back in top spot, Rockwall-Heath takes leap

Keller’s loss to Trinity moves Waxahachie back into the top spot in Class 6A while Rockwall-Heath makes the biggest leap of the week, jumping two places to overtake both Denton Guyer and Mansfield Legacy. Guyer lost a high-scoring affair to Mansfield Legacy while Legacy had a rough series against Mansfield, dropping both games last week. Marcus’ loss to rival Flower Mound drops it out of the Top 10 with the team now losing three of its last four games.

A narrow loss for Prestonwood Christian to John Paul II was the only blemish for any of the Top 10 teams in our other poll. The one-run defeat wasn’t enough to move Prestonwood off the third-ranked position.
