With a handful of district playoff games remaining throughout the state, attention turns to the pursuit of one of the last championships in the 2021-2022 school year, the PIAA softball crown.

The first round is set to begin Monday with many of the Trib HSSN state softball ranked teams below sauntering in riding a wave of gold from their respective district playoffs.

Others hope winning a state softball championship erases the sting of coming up short in their regional postseason.

Only seven teams fell out of the weekly HSSN elite five; however, there were all kind of changes at the top with only Beaver in 4A and Frazier in 2A still at No. 1 as both of those teams prepare to play in the District 7 finals.

The new top-ranked teams who hope to still be perched there in a few weeks include North Penn (6A), Pittston Area (5A), Mid Valley (3A) and Tri-Valley (A).
