Germantown, Pewaukee, Muskego and West Bend West currently occupy the top four positions in the latest rankings, while Franklin has surged to fifth place after a string of impressive wins.
Team of the Week
Kenosha Indian Trail earned the honor after completing a three‑game sweep of Racine Case, a feat that underscored the team’s depth and pitching consistency.
Five of the top six teams posted perfect 4‑0 weeks, with Franklin’s victory over New Berlin Eisenhower propelling it ahead in the standings.
