With baseball season in full swing and teams starting to get more games in, it is time to start our HSSC/Scoops with Danny Mac Top 10 rankings for the area teams. CBC will start on top of the rankings with Edwardsville slotted in right behind. There are a lot of good baseball teams in the area, so don’t be surprised that this list may look very different after the state championships in June.
