Saw Portsmouth West play last weekend down in KY. Their pitcher threw pretty well in the game I saw.Interesting seeing Wheelersburg and Portsmouth West rated so high. Battled with both communities in Little League and knew they both were very talented. Although they are in DIV, Portsmouth Notre Dame has a few of those Little League girls too.
If your not from Southwest, it is a real struggle to break into the poll.I kinda laughed when I saw Triway at #10.
They are the defending Division II state champions. Yes, their senior class last year had nearly half a dozen girls go on to play college softball including 2+ go D1, but they still return 3 of their key batters from last year as well as arguably the top pitcher in the state (lost in the state finals as a freshman, won the state championship as a sophomore, and who is committed to Georgia Tech), and reloaded with several players from a JV team that went 16-1 and run-ruled just about everyone they played.
They were #25 in the MaxPreps preseason national rankings and have started 12-1, sweeping a double header against DI #8 Teays Valley, and losing 3-2 in 10 innings to a good Manchester team.
In the end, polls don't matter. But I had to laugh.
That does seem strange.I kinda laughed when I saw Triway at #10.

I agree. Took two from D-I Teays Valley, who at the time, ranked 4th in D-I. Polls don't matter, but like Pitman I just shook my head and laughed !!!!!I kinda laughed when I saw Triway at #10.

And after last night, now we have swept the reigning D-III state runner-up 8-3 and 2-1.I agree. Took two from D-I Teays Valley, who at the time, ranked 4th in D-I. Polls don't matter, but like Pitman I just shook my head and laughed !!!!!
Maybe Keystone had a once in a generation group of community girls come through the halls in 2021What a joke. This poll is worse than Max Preps.
DIII NE West Districts Seeding
- 1 Keystone - Keystone (15-0) 402 D-II State Champs 2021
2 Triway - Triway (14-1) 39 D-II State Runner-Up 2021, D-II State Champs 2022
Doubt that. Not a Keystone fan, but they have a very good tradition in softball. Triway has one of the best pitchers in the state. Both should do well in the tournament.Maybe Keystone had a once in a generation group of community girls come through the halls in 2021
LOL, Triway. Not TriWay.I’m looking forward to seeing if the Raiders can match up with the Defending D2 Champs.
South Range vs. TriWay in Regional Semi-Final this coming Wed.
Indeed a loaded region!Congrats to South Range. What a great region with those 4 teams.
Didn't see you there. Your coach is a class act. We will see you next year. Only have 1 Senior starting.I saw a score of 4-3, South Range over Triway.
Another SR vs. Champion matchup to decide who goes to state.
Allllrighty then.Didn't see you there. Your coach is a class act. We will see you next year. Only have 1 Senior starting.
Didn't see that response anywhere. Have some class....you were complimented. See you next year. Not at GT yet, just a Jr.Typical response
We were state Champs moved down division everyone just give up. I watched on ysn. So when you LOL people about them wanting to see matchup. Guess what who is laughing now.
By the way the girls who took your Georgia tech pitcher deep in back to back were a sophomore and freshman.
Best Region in the State, all divisions.Congrats to South Range. What a great region with those 4 teams.
