Final ASWA high school rankings released
The Alabama Sports Writers Association has put out its final rankings of the year.
The Alabama Sports Writers Association has released one final set of high school softball rankings before the postseason begins. The top teams have remained pretty consistent throughout the season, but there have been many teams starting to rise as the home stretch nears.
The regular season will wrap up over the next week or so, and expect the content released on this page to increase as well as we get down toward the best part of the season.
