Murrieta Mesa starts out as the No. 1-ranked team in Southland in the preseason rankings for The Times produced by Mark Tennis of CalHiSports.com.
The Rams were 28-4 last season and return Tennessee commit Taelyn Holley, who had 11 home runs and a .598 batting average. Pitcher Lillly Hauser, an Arizona commit, had an 0.63 ERA.
