Top 25 Wisconsin High School Softball State Rankings

With the exciting, highly anticipated season in full swing, it's time to take the latest look at High School on SI Wisconsin's Top 25 state softball rankings.

Considering the impressive talent, depth, and long-standing tradition of so many powerhouse programs competing within the WIAA's five respective divisions, it was an intriguing task narrowing the field of teams into an elite list of the state's best. Although several top-notch programs were ultimately left off the rankings, the legitimate contenders will fittingly rise to the top and make their presence known each week one meaningful victory at a time.

Sussex Hamilton (18-0 in Division 1), Medford (16-0 in Division 2), Wittenberg-Birnamwood (18-1 in Division 3), Grantsburg (15-0 in Division 4), and Almond-Bancroft (14-1 in Division 5) currently hold the No. 1 spot in their respective Top-10 standings.

Sussex Hamilton maintains its hold on the top spot in this week's rankings with an 18-0 overall record following statement-making victories over Divine Savior Holy Angels (9-2) and Brookfield Central (8-6).

The high-powered defending Greater Metro Conference champion Chargers have advanced to the WIAA Division 1 state tournament four of the last five seasons, including an appearance in the semifinals in 2025.

The top 10 teams in this week's rankings combined for a statement-making 133-9 overall record.
