Only 10 days remain in the regular season, and high school teams are loading up schedules in an effort to play the 20 games allowed.

With a crowded schedule, losses mount for even the best teams because pitching depth is tested. That shows in this week's Metro Top 10.

Cretin-Derham Hall (13-2) remains in the top spot, but the three immediately behind the Raiders — Edina (11-3), Wayzata (11-4) and Chanhassen (10-4) — are closing in fast. The Hornets and Storm have each won nine of their past 10 games.

St. Paul Highland Park (12-0) is the lone unbeaten team remaining in the state's two largest classes. The Scots are in Class 3A.
