The Utah High School Activities Association has released its initial 1A baseball RPI rankings, placing the Pinnacle Panthers 11th and Green River 14th out of the 15 competing schools.

Valley holds the top spot in the classification after a 12-2 start to the season. Piute is currently second, followed by Wayne, Wendover and Panguitch.

Currently sitting with a 2-9 record overall, the Panthers remain in striking distance to climb inside the top 10. Eight games remain on the regular season schedule and seven of those opponents are currently ranked in the top 10.

Green River remains in search of its first win following a 0-9 start to the season. Seven games remain on the slate, including Friday’s road contest with Pinnacle.

The RPI standings are determined by three statistically categories:

*MWP (Modified Winning Percentage): Divide the number of possible points by the number of total available points from games played accounting for the adjustment between classifications.

*OWP (Opponents Winning Percentage): Average of the winning percentage of a team’s opponent.

*OOWP (Opponents’ Opponents Winning Percentage): Same process as OWP except the calculation is with the opponents of the team’s opponent.

Below are the complete RPI standings as of Thursday, Sept. 3:
