MSA Sports Top Ten – WPIAL Softball Playoff Teams – 05/11/2016

Each week during the 2016 regular season, MSA Sports ranked the top ten softball teams in the WPIAL in all four classifications. Now that the district postseason field is (nearly) set, we rank ALL of the 60 playoff bound teams. HOWEVER, it is not a true ranking from #1 to whatever. Like the steering committee does, we seed the teams to avoid the teams from the same section playing each other in the First Round. You fill in the top four, then the next four, then you start plugging teams in. Not an exact science, but it makes the guess work fun. 

Don’t forget to listen to the 2016 WPIAL Softball Pairing Show Thursday night at 8:00pm on your home for EXCLUSIVE coverage of the 2016 WPIAL Softball Playoffs sponsored by Carlow University, the MSA Sports Network at MSAsports.net
