MileHigh Prep Report Baseball Rankings thru 4/8/2024 (Class 1A thru 3A)

As we move into the second weekend of April, we see some changes to the rankings.  The weather this past Saturday did rob us of some great matchups that hopefully will be made up soon.  Just a reminder that CHSAA rankings they release are just the seeding index, I had a few people ask me about them during the basketball season.  Of course, it’s still early in the baseball season so expect changes to the rankings as we try and figure out teams early in the season.

Dropped Out: Monte Vista (9), Fowler (10)
Notes:  A very interesting week in Class 2A saw many of the top 10 teams fall this past week.  Peyton lost to St. Mary’s, Buena Vista lost to Rangely, and Monte Vista lost to Meeker.  I am leaving Buena Vista in the top 10 this week due to their earlier wins but their game against Monte Vista was rescheduled.  Yuma joins the rankings after a solid win over Haxtun and St. Mary’s joins the rankings after a huge split with Peyton last week.
