Updated: July 7, 2012 8:40AM



Records through June 5

1. Marist (29-12)

No shame in losing to defending state champion.

2. Marian Catholic (23-17)

Making first trip to state semifinals in program’s history.

3. Lincoln-Way North (33-6)

Looking forward to return of seven starters and three top-notch pitchers.

4. Mount Carmel (32-6)

Will rank among the top teams in the state next season.

5. Providence (28-8)

Talented underclassmen waiting in wings.

6. St. Laurence (30-7-1)

Trio of Lewis, Kornacker and Wood likely will keep Vikings among elite.

7. St. Rita (24-13)

Young squad should be formidable next spring.

8. Oak Forest (27-7)

No replacing Kyle Funkhouser.

9. Homewood-Flossmoor (22-12)

Lose a ton of talent, but cupboard is far from dry.

10. Lincoln-Way West (24-14)

Made huge strides during postseason.
