CHHS, PLAS in Top-3 in ASWA polls

Published 6:00 am Thursday, March 19, 2009

A loss to Lee-Scott in the Edgewood tournament last weekend did not bump the top-seeded Pike Liberal Arts Patriots from their perch atop the Alabama Sports Writers Association AISA baseball poll.

The Patriots (9-1) remained the No. 1 team in the AISA. A 10-1 win over then No. 4 Macon-East Knights in the Edgewood tourney followed the loss to Lee-Scott.

The Charles Henderson Trojans (12-4) dropped from No. 2 to No. 3 in the Class 5A poll after a 10-0 loss to then No. 7 Briarwood Christian in the Nike Spring Break Classic in Gulf Shores Tuesday.
