South is the top team this year. I'd also put Salem, Londonderry, Trinity, Goffstown, and Keene up there. The bottom line is, come tournament time, it doesn't matter much who the best team is: the finals had two teams ranked in double digits. Spaulding, Londonderry, and Salem were the top teams last year- none of them made it to the big game.
Also, I would take Jamie Ferullio of Spaulding ove Zappenas at shortstop.
