Worth County made a jump from #5 to #2 in the GRC West power rankings and was named GRC West Team of the Week Sunday following wins over Stanberry and North Harrison and securing the King City Tournament title in 97-degree heat. However, Albany did nothing to hurt its standing at #1 thanks to wins over NEN, North Andrew, and King City.
Losses to Worth County and Maysville dropped Stanberry to third. However, they beat Princeton 7-5 to throw the conference race wide open; as of Sunday evening, four teams were tied atop the standings.
Princeton checked in at #4. Losses to Stanberry and Trenton dropped it one notch. Pattonsburg, which won two out of three, moved up to #5. North Harrison, which beat King City, moved up to #6.
King City had the biggest drop due to losses to North Harrison, Albany, and Worth County, from fourth to seventh. However, its 17-3 win over Gilman City shows that they still have the capability to beat anyone on a given night. If they beat Stanberry Thursday, it would help Worth County clear a path to an outright conference title should the Tigers win out.
Losses to Albany, LeBlond, and Pattonsburg kept North Andrew at eighth. But they played some bigger schools over the weekend in Falls City (NE) and beat one of them, South Sioux City, 12-1.
