Break out the bats and gloves as high school softball season is upon us across the country, especially in the Ocean State. One of the tops when it comes to high level softball, Rhode Island features several teams that are among the New England region's best around. 

Making their case early on decisively at the top spot is the La Salle Academy Rams, as they are in the conversation as one of the nation's top squads. The Rams have shown little reason that they would leave the No. 1 ranking at any point this season.

Besides the state powerhouse, who else is among the elites when it comes to high school softball in Rhode Island? Take a look at our Top 10 as we give you our fifth set of Rhode Island high school softball rankings.

Top 10 Rhode Island high school softball rankings (4/20/2025)

1. La Salle Academy (9-0)

The Rams are the returning 2-time state champions, chasing a three-peat this year in 2025. La Salle Academy lost just one starter from last year's undefeated season.  This club has a deep roster along with a championship pedigree. Head coach Joe Roumelis' team has out-scored opponents 89-12 through nine games. La Salle Academy defeated Connecticut power Cheshire last week, 8-0.

2. Pilgrim (8-0)

Pilgrim only lost one senior from last year's team and return Genna D’Amato as a key cog in the lineup. The Patriots have quickly shown they belong at the second spot with their play, but recent victories against Chariho and Cranston West in their last two contests.

3. Coventry (4-1)

Coventry enters the 2025 season with high expectations, looking to reclaim their status as a Division I powerhouse. After a strong 2024 season that saw the Oakers finish with a competitive record and a playoff loss to Pilgrim in the state tournament, the team opened up the 2025 slate with a 11-7 win over Westerly. Coventry moves up our rankings after a 2-0 victory over Cranston West.

4. Cranston West (5-2)

After a notable 2024 season where the Falcons showcased their playoff prowess—securing wins against Pilgrim, Prout, and East Greenwich before falling to state powerhouse La Salle Academy in the state championship bracket—the team looks to capitalize on that experience. So far through three games, Cranston West has shown the ability to pile up runs in a hurry, averaging over eight runs per game.

5. Ponaganset (2-2)

The Chieftains move up in this week's rankings after a 12-2 victory over St. Mary Academy-Bay View. Reason we didn't decide to drop them too far out is because their two losses have come against top-ranked La Salle Academy and second-ranked Pilgrim.

6. Chariho (4-4)

Chariho has leaned on the pitching of Adriana Jeannenot, who is 4-1 on the season with 62 strikeouts. The Chargers have lost three in a row, with multiple losses to Pilgrim.

7. Westerly (5-2)

Ella Keegan is the team’s best returning hitter and paired with junior Bella Mazzarese, will lead the charge offensively. Westerly will have to figure out how to replace all of the seniors they lost, which made up for 50 percent of the team's run production in 2024. We don't drop Westerly completely out of the rankings because its only two losses came against Coventry and Cranston West, both ranked teams. The Bulldogs have won five games in a row.

8. North Kingstown (3-2)

North Kingstown is led by the two-pitcher rotation of Mia D’Andrea and Gianna Amedeo. The Skippers dropped their second game of the season in a 6-5 loss to Westerly.

9. Prout (4-3)

The Crusaders break into the rankings after winning two in a row, with wins coming over Smithfield and South Kingstown. Prout has victories over Chariho and Coventry.

10. Smithfield (3-2)

The Sentinels won three in a row after a loss to top-ranked La Salle Academy to start the season. Most recent game was a 9-5 loss to Prout.
