2022 KY PREP SOFTBALL STATE SOFTBALL RANKINGS

Many thanks to Jim McAlister of KY Prep Softball in London, KY for providing the rankings from 1995 through 2021.

As many of you know we lost a huge advocate for Kentucky High School Softball this past year with the passing of Jim McAlister. Every year Jim and Cathy would compile a Pre-Season Ranking for each Region consisting of the Top 10 Players and Teams. We would like to carry on this tradition and ask for your input. We would like for high school softball coaches to vote for the Top 10 Players in their Region and Top 10 Teams in their Region. We are hoping for great participation in the anticipation of the upcoming softball season. Please send a separate email to kysoftballrankings@gmail.com with your list including your Region Number in the Subject line of the email. Please submit your list by February 19^th, 2022.

The 2022 Preseason Regional and State Top Teams and Players was provided by James Brown (Digital Director at Commonwealth Broadcasting in Glasgow). James also hosts a weekly podcast called “Brown Sports Bag.” All Kentucky High School Softball Head Coaches have been sent an email for them to vote on their preseason Regional and State Top Teams and Players. Each School gets one ballot. See the information below that was emailed by James Brown:

The results were posted starting the week of February 20th on the Kentucky Prep Softball Facebook Page, KSCA Website , www.104thescore.com plus twitter accounts @1047thescore and @JbrownESPNKY
