There were major changes this week in half of the softball classifications and minimal movement in the other three classes on the brink of the 2021 PIAA softball playoffs.

In Class 6A, 5A and 3A, there were 10 teams that fell out of Trib HSSN state softball rankings from last week, while in 4A, 2A and A, only three teams dropped out of the Top 5.

Some of the district playoffs were filled with surprises while other played out as expected.

There were changes at the top in three classifications.

The new No. 1 team in Class 5A is Lampeter-Strasburg, while Mt. Pleasant in 3A and Laurel in 2A join Bethel Park (6A), Beaver (4A) and West Greene (A) as No. 1 ranked teams in the state from the WPIAL.
