The release of the 41st annual Cal-Hi Sports All-State Softball Teams is now underway. We begin with a new way of doing the all-state underclass teams and that’s doing the juniors and sophomores separately (just like football and basketball). We have a first and second team all-state for juniors and first team for sophomores. 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. 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 $3.99 per month, CLICK HERE.
