At first glance, this edition of the Trib HSSN state softball rankings may look like a carbon copy of last week’s presentation.

However, after further review, there are only a couple of tweaks that separate the two as the elite softball teams are putting on their postseason face and tuning up their games with the district playoffs coming up.

Only three teams lost their spot in the Top 5 as Hempfield, Laurel and Clearfield exited while Central York, Reynolds and Shade entered.

There were two replacements at the top of the rankings as Karns City took over for Avonworth in 3A while Frazier is No. 1 in 2A, taking over for Union City.

The other four remain intact with Pennsbury (6A), West Scranton (5A), Beaver (4A) and Tri-Valley (A) still at No. 1.
