Softball rankings (3/22): Major changes after district play begins

While the top teams remain the same, new competition joins the mix.

District play is now underway in the UIL softball season, and through tournament play, a number of new area powers have risen.

The top two teams in both the Class 6A and Class 5A/other fields remain the same, as Mansfield Lake Ridge and Denton Guyer have yet to lose a game in 6A and Frisco Heritage and Colleyville Heritage sit as two of the top 5A teams in the state.

However, close behind, a few previously unranked programs have joined the mix. Waxahachie and Southlake Carroll have both won 19 of their first 24 games, earning them spots at seventh and eighth, respectively. Royse City has also capitalized on its strong start and built off last season’s run to the Region II final.
