Centennial, however, made a dramatic climb to take No. 2 in this week’s poll.

Class A-5A No. 1 Blessed Trinity demolished Kell 16-2 and sent the Longhorns to No. 3 in the poll. Wesleyan, whose only loss of the season was a 12-6 defeat to BT, is the new No. 2. Starr’s Mill jumped Westminster for No. 4 after the Wildcats suffered a fourth-straight defeat.
