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

Remaining in the top spot for the second straight week is Hurricane, as they have been the state's top team through the opening parts of the season. Who else is in the conversation, though?

Besides them, who else is among the elites when it comes to high school softball in West Virginia? Take a look at our Power 10 rankings as we give you our list ahead of next week's set of regular season games.

Top 10 West Virginia High School Softball Rankings (4/30/2025)

1. Hurricane (18-3)

The Redskins have been arguably the state's best team and that's been because of the pitching of Kate Justice. The junior has been sensational, currently 16-3 with a 1.62 earned run average and 174 strikeouts.

2. Cabell Midland (18-3)

Coming in right behind Hurricane is Cabell Midland, whose only loss of the season to a team out of West Virginia was against the Redskins back on April 8th. The Knights have a couple big games coming up against Ironton and Blazer to end the season.

3. Parkersburg South (15-6)

Now we know this one might be head sctratching to some, but hear us out on this ranking. The Patriots notched a 5-0 victory over top-ranked Hurricane, 5-0, but did fall 5-4 to Point Pleasant this past Tuesday. Parkersburg South defeated Robert C. Byrd, 11-1, and finish the campaign out against University.

4. University (18-3-1)

The Hawks have been impressive this season behind the play of Maddie Campbell, who has been the team's best player at the plate this spring. Campbell is batting an impressive .458 at the plate with five home runs, four doubles, three triples and 33 RBIs. A big tilt against Parkersburg South looms large.

5. Frankfort (16-0)

The Falcons are in an exclusive group of teams that's still undefeated this season. What has separated this squad from others is their power at the plate, with Frankfort belting 18 home runs collectively this season so far.

6. Jefferson (14-3)

Moving down from last week's initial set of rankings are the Cougars after they dropped their third game of the season, this one a 10-7 loss to Woodgrove (Virginia). Jefferson bounced back with a 8-6 win over Clarke County.

7. Hoover (17-5)

We had to drop Hoover down a few spots after dropping a 4-3 decision against Lincoln County on Tuesday. Despite the loss, the Huskies remain one of West Virginia's top softball teams.

8. Washington (16-4)

Another team that fell victim to Woodgrove of Virginia was the Patriots, losing in a tight 3-1 affair. On Friday, Washington will close the regular season out in a highly anticipated matchup with Jefferson.

9. Morgantown (17-9)

Just below Washington is Morgantown, with the two teams coming off of playing each other in a double header. The Mohigans are currently riding a 3-game winning streak, with victories over North Marion, Preston and Wheeling Park.

10. Logan (15-3)

After starting off the season with a bang, defeating Hoover 4-3, the Wildcats have simmered off somewhat in the following 17 games. Myleigh Adams has proven she has been one of the state's best hitters, blasting nine homers and six doubles.
