Rivals High School Softball Top 25 Rankings – Apr. 26

The Barbers Hill Eagles (32-3) have only lost three games this season and are still one of the best programs nationally on an annual basis. The Eagles feature a number of players that will be moving onto the collegiate level, including junior catcher Isabelle Lawrence, who is committed to the University of North Carolina. The last time Barbers Hill won a state title was in 2021 and with the talent that’s dotted up and down the roster, it’s certainly something that could happen again this spring. In their last 16 games, Barbers Hill has out-scored the opposition an astounding 194-1. Having only allowed a single run in over a dozen-plus games is as impressive as it gets.

3. Lake Creek Lions (TX) (31-1)

The Lake Creek Lions (31-1) made their way into the Top 5 a few weeks ago and now stays firm at the third spot as the Lone Star State owns the top three teams in our latest set of rankings. With the Lions’ lone loss coming against the team above (Barbers Hill), there’s plenty of reasons why this group remains just ahead of Alabama’s Orange Beach Makos. Lake Creek is currently on a 18-game winning streak and head into the UIL postseason with plenty of momentum.

4. Orange Beach Makos (AL) (36-1)

Orange Beach Makos (36-1) has bounced back nicely from their lone loss of the season to South Warren out of Kentucky with . Though the team graduated a few key pieces from last year’s bunch, the Makos bring back plenty of punch at the plate and to the circle as well. On the mound, Orange Beach has leaned on sophomore MK McMullan, who is currently 22-1 with 165 strikeouts on the season so far. The Makos are just as good at the plate with power hitters Teagan Revette (Mississippi State commit), Ava Hodo (Arkansas commit). Orange Beach through 37 games has out-scored opponents 390-50 so far.

5. Calvary Baptist Academy Cavaliers (LA) (35-1)

The **Calvary Baptist Academy**Cavaliers (35-1) recently became another national high school softball power that fell victim of going from being undefeated to dropping their first game of the season, losing to unranked West Monroe. The Cavaliers ended up winning last year’s the LHSAA Division III Select state championship and did so in dominating fashion. Calvary Baptist Academy is once again dominated the competition, out-scoring opponents 374-33. Baylor Bockhaus has carried over a massive freshman campaign into this spring, belting 20 home runs and driving in 68 runs through 36 games so far. Georgia commit Kynzee Anderson is back in the circle and this season is 28-1 with a 0.58 ERA and 300 strikeouts.
