We begin the 43rd annual Cal-Hi Sports All-State Softball Teams with the honors for the top juniors and sophomores. This is just the third year that the juniors and sophomores have been selected separately. Before, all non-seniors were bunched together. A separate all-state freshman watch list will be coming at the end of the cycle. While this is a Gold Club post, the next one for all-state teams according to medium schools and small schools will be free.
Note: This is a post for our Gold Club members only. All softball state record files, the second team all-state selections and more historical features also are for Gold Club. Next school year, all softball content other than preseason rankings, coaches and players of year will be Gold Club. Please check out becoming a member today so you don’t miss any of our exclusive statewide content. To join our team today for as low as $4.99 per month, CLICK HERE.
