BASEBALL TOP 10
1. Harvard-Westlake (2-1): The Wolverines fell to a very good Yucaipa team 6-5 last week. But are still the team to beat in the area, for now.
2. Sierra Canyon (4-0): The Trailblazers took down Grace Brethren, Granada Hills, Moorpark and Notre Dame en route to the Easton Tournament final against Newbury Park at Birmingham Charter at 7 p.m. Jaden Noot and Kassius Thomas both throw mid 90s.

3. Newbury Park (4-0): Quinn Haggarty has seven hits in the team’s first four games. Junior pitchers Cole Miller and Derek Turner each have 10 strikeouts. The Panthers are for real.
4. Hart (3-1): The Indians took Newbury Park to 10 innings in the Easton Tournament semifinal before losing 5-4. This team is the heavy favorite to win the Foothill League.
5. Notre Dame (3-1): The Knights beat St. Bonaventure, Dos Pueblos and Agoura before falling to Sierra Canyon in the Easton Tournament semifinal 4-2 Saturday.
6. Granada Hills (3-1): The Highlanders’ only loss this season is to Sierra Canyon. Easton Hawk is emerging as an impact sophomore at the plate and on the mound.

7. Thousand Oaks (2-2): The Lancers are learning about life after the star-studded trio of Max Muncy, Roc Riggio and Charlie Saum.
8. Westlake (3-1): The Warriors notched wins over Sun Valley Poly, Santa Barbara and St. Bonaventure in the Easton Tournament.
9. Birmingham Charter (3-1): The Patriots start the season winning three of its first four. Gavin Taylor, Robert Pitts and Domenik Cervantes are the core to the offense.
10. Alemany (2-1): Coach Steve Riggs like the Warriors to fly under the radar, but we’ll see how long that lasts. Jarrett Segura is among the best hitters in the area.
