Top 10 Delaware High School Softball Rankings (5/21/2025)
1. Caravel Academy (14-3)
The Buccaneers are coming off winning it all in last season's DIAA state championship game in a narrow 2-0 victory over Sussex Central.

2. Lake Forest (19-1)
The Spartans had started off the season with seventeen straight victories before losing their first game, a 5-4 loss to Laurel. Lake Forest makes a big jump up in our rankings this week as they defeated top-ranked Cape Henlopen, 4-2, on Monday.
3. Cape Henlopen (18-1)
Having an ace pitcher back on the mound makes all the difference and the Vikings have that at their disposal.

Cape Henlopen dropped its first game of the season in a 4-2 loss to Lake Forest (see above).

6. St. Mark's (15-3)

7. Appoquinimink (16-2)
Dropping down several spots from the No. 1 ranking is the Jaguars, who dropped their first game of the season in a 5-3 loss to St. Mark's.
