TRUSSVILLE – The second installment of the 2015 Alabama Sports Writers Association baseball and softball rankings have been released, and Hewitt-Trussville remains on top of both Class 7A polls.
For the baseball team, a 4-0 work week was good enough to keep the Huskies atop the ladder. The Lady Huskies posted a 1-1 mark for the week, losing to Class 6A Chelsea and beating Class 4A No. 3 Cordova.
