The Mobile Christian baseball program has enjoyed great success, especially in recent seasons. According to the year’s first Alabama Sports Writers Association (ASWA) baseball poll, released Thursday, this year’s Leopards’ team should continue that trend. The same statement would accurately describe the Bayside Academy program and its current ranking as well.
The Mobile Christian Leopards sit atop the poll this week in the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) Class 5A rankings, while the Bayside Academy Admirals are the top-ranked team in Class 4A. The two teams are among 13 in the Lagniappe coverage area that are ranked or received votes in this week’s ASWA poll.
