High School Beat: Seedings Scramble
Poly Prep enters state tourney with 'chip' on its shoulder
Winner of the last two New York State Independent School baseball championship trophies and seven consecutive Ivy League crowns, Poly Prep has already established itself as a Brooklyn baseball dynasty.
But entering their quest for an unprecedented third straight NYSAISS crown this weekend, the Blue Devils will have some added motivation when they take on the state’s top private school varsity baseball squads.
Despite their lofty status on the tri-state hardball scene, and a very challenging regular-season schedule that saw them go 13-8 overall, including an 11-3 mark in the ultra-competitive Ivy League, Matt Roventini’s reigning champions received the No. 4 seed in the annual tournament.
