The Philadelphia Baseball Review releases a weekly Power Poll that ranks the top five high school programs in the Philadelphia area. Local coaches, scouts, and talent evaluators assist in the voting and selection of teams.
1. Malvern Prep | (15-1, 3-0) [Up 1]
The Friars took care of Episcopal last week and have been dominant over their last five games, outscoring opponents 47-5. There's a reason this team is receiving national recognition.
2. La Salle College | (8-1, 5-0) [Up 1]
The Explorers wrapped up a perfect week with victories over Wood, SCHA, Holy Ghost, and Conwell-Egan. The Catholic League schedule will be a bit more challenging over the next ten days with contests against Bonner and Neumann-Goretti.
3. Neshaminy | (8-0, 6-0) [Up 1]
The Skins have a run differential of +59 and have a pretty favorable schedule for the remainder of the season, aside from their contest with Central Bucks East later this month.
4. Central Bucks East | (7-2, 4-0) [Up 1]
The Patriots took care of Council Rock South and Bensalem earlier this week. They'll face Neshaminy on April 24.
5. Episcopal Academy | (11-3, 1-2) [Down 4]
The Churchmen are in a little bit of a tailspin, having dropped three straight - including a contest with Malvern Prep - before securing a much needed win on Tuesday over Germantown Friends.
