Washington high school softball preseason rankings 2024: Who are the top teams in each classification?

Reigning Class 4A champion Jackson - ranked preseason No. 7 nationally - will be one tough customer all season, led by returning state MVP Yanina Sherwood

Can any team prevent nationally-ranked Jackson from cruising to another Class 4A title? Is Snohomish or Liberty of Issaquah the Class 3A favorite? Will surprise Class 2A winner North Kitsap back it up this spring?

After discussions with softball coaches throughout the state, SBLive Washington is releasing its preseason Top 10 rankings for each classification in the 2024 spring season:
