Excitement Builds as Nebraska High School Baseball Coaches Poll Kicks Off 2025 Season

Lincoln is buzzing with energy as the very first weekly Nebraska high school baseball coaches poll for the 2025 season has just hit the streets. Coaches from three classes across the state have weighed in on which teams are stepping up to the plate this year, and the results are sure to spark some lively discussions among fans, players, and parents alike!

Class A Rankings: Strong Starts and Surprising Moves

Let’s dive into the Class A rankings, where it seems like the teams are off to a great start. Papillion-La Vista South is leading the pack with an impressive record of 2-0, holding onto their number one spot from the previous ranking. Following closely behind, Lincoln East is making their mark this season too with their own win, sitting pretty at 1-0 while maintaining their number two ranking.

A bit of excitement comes from Lincoln Southwest, which has climbed up from the seventh position to third place, also boasting a 1-0 record. On the other hand, the previously high-flying Creighton Prep has dropped from third to fourth after facing a couple of tough losses, now sitting at 0-2.

Millard North remains steady at fifth, while Grand Island is making a comeback this season, rising from the ninth spot to sixth with a solid 1-0 record. Meanwhile, Elkhorn South, dropping slightly from sixth to seventh, is hoping to turn things around after their first game resulted in a loss. Bellevue West stands firm at eighth, supported by a victory, while Millard West finds themselves slipping from the fourth ranking down to ninth with a record of 0-1. Rounding out the top ten is Millard South, which is yet to step onto the field this season with a 0-0 record.

Interestingly enough, no other teams in Class A received any votes, making the competition fierce for those top spots!

Class B Rankings: A Competitive Landscape

Shifting gears to Class B, the landscape is just as tantalizing. Skutt Catholic has jumped up from the second spot to take the lead with a 3-1 record, while Gretna East has slipped to the second position despite still holding a victory with a 1-0 record. Elkhorn keeps their third ranking intact with a 1-0 record as well.

Bennington, however, is making waves this season by rising to the fourth spot from sixth with a perfect 2-0 record. Norris has dropped from fifth to fifth with an even 1-1 record, while things are looking a bit murky for Lincoln Pius X, which has fallen to sixth after a 0-1 start.

Elkhorn North maintains steady at seventh with a win, while Gretna, despite slipping from ninth to eighth, is still in the game but with a record of 0-1. Omaha Gross Catholic holds the ninth position without a game played yet, and new entries like Seward find themselves at tenth, arriving from being unranked. A handful of other teams, including Waverly, Lincoln Northwest, Ralston, and Hastings, garnered some votes but haven’t made the cut just yet.

Class C Rankings: Rising Stars and Established Favorites

Finally, we turn to Class C, where Malcolm holds onto their firm grasp of the top spot with a 1-0 record. They’re joined by Central City/Centura, which maintains their second rank with no games under their belt yet. Lincoln Christian shines in third place having jumped up from fourth to lead with a 2-0 record. Wayne proves they are a team to watch, moving from the seventh to the fourth rank with another strong win.

Adams Central is steady at fifth while Mount Michael Benedictine, unfortunately, is at the other end of the spectrum, falling from third to sixth with a disappointing 0-2 start. DC West finds themselves at seventh, while Lincoln Lutheran, while sitting at eighth, has yet to find their stride with a 1-1 record. Omaha Roncalli Catholic and Fort Calhoun round out the top ten, each still waiting to make a bigger impact this season.

It’s clear that the coaches’ assessments are keeping a close eye on early-season performance and expectations. With the rankings changing as quickly as the weather in Nebraska, fans can look forward to updates each week as teams battle it out on the diamond. It promises to be an exciting ride for all the baseball enthusiasts out there!
