Fourth rankings of the season for Colorado high school baseball.
The Class 5A coaches poll got a slight shakeup this week, with previously unranked Columbine joining the ranking at No. 6. Legacy also joined, at tenth, while Chaparral went from ninth to seventh.
The 4A poll also got two new teams: Northridge (No. 7) and Durango (No. 9), while 3A added Strasburg (No. 10), Kiowa (No. 9) joined 2A and Stratton (No. 4) joined the 1A poll.
This season, The Post conducted coaches polls with dozens of coaches from each classification taking part.
