OSAAtoday - Softball coaches polls: Preseason

Preseason Statewide Softball Coaches Polls

OSAAtoday is thrilled to present its preseason statewide Softball Coaches Polls in all classifications. Thanks to all the coaches who took the time and had the expertise to contribute their opinions to this endeavor.

Look for the polls every other week during the spring season.

If you are a high school varsity coach who would like to participate in the voting, contact johnt@osaa.org to find out how.

Please note: these polls are for generating interest and discussion only and have no impact on the OSAA’s RPI and Colley ratings that form the basis of the OSAA’s rankings for playoff purposes.
