🚨2026 Summer Schedule Release🚨 @WI_LightningSB @TopGunEvents @NAFASoftball @uctournaments @PGFnetwork

4/29/26 ICA Softball Polls. Good to see some games being played. 4 Weeks of Regular Season left. Best of luck to all.

This week's ICA rankings. These polls will start to get more refined as more games are now being played. It is amazing to see teams with 23-25 games played to 6-8 games played. Again this is not a perfect science. It is way for to recognize teams and to spark conversations.

Updated ICA Polls. We will be doing weekly updates throughout the season until regionals. Remember this is not exact science and it is tough when weather does not cooperate. Some really good teams have some small sample size.

14 years straight. 30+ wins. Still hungry 🏆

Lot's of our teammates are featured in this article and off to a great start for the high school season!❤️🖤 @AJ_Howarth1 @Amiyah_Wyrick26 @LilyParr2026 @etapia007 @kenzi_haas_2 @KaYKsY33
