Preseason Statewide Softball Coaches Polls
OSAAtoday is thrilled to present its 2022 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 Tuesday 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.
