The diamond is heating up in Ohio! USA Today Co. Ohio has just released its third regular-season Super 25 high school softball rankings for 2026, and the competition is fiercer than ever. Featuring a panel of sportswriters from across the state, this poll ranks the top 25 teams regardless of division, giving us a clear picture of who's dominating the field this spring.
How does the ranking work? Each voter submits their own Top 25 list, with first-place votes earning 25 points, second place 24, and so on down to one point for the 25th spot. It's a rigorous process that ensures only the most consistent and talented teams make the cut.
Among the squads making waves this week are Boardman, Centerville, Holland Springfield, Lancaster, Lebanon, Oak Hills, Talawanda, Taylor, Tuscarawas Valley, Tuslaw, and Watkins Memorial. These teams have shown grit, skill, and teamwork—qualities every athlete needs to succeed, whether on the field or in the gear they wear.
As the season heats up, keep an eye on these contenders. For fans and players alike, there's no better time to gear up with apparel that celebrates Ohio's best softball talent. From practice jerseys to game-day essentials, represent your favorite team in style!
