Nearly three years have passed since the last softball state tournament, which means, on paper, ‘Iolani is still the defending champion.
Maryknoll, however, collected six of eight first-place votes and is No. 1 in the season-opening Star-Advertiser Softball Top 10. The Spartans won the ILH title in 2021, when the state tournament was on hold.
The Campbell Sabers, who won three state crowns in a row from 2015 to ’17, garnered one first-place vote and are No. 2.
‘Iolani follows at No. 3 and has the remaining first-place vote. The softball regular seasons in the ILH and OIA have not started yet, unlike baseball, which is already underway.
The Glenn Ah Sam Trojan Softball Classic began on Monday at Patsy Mink Central Oahu Regional Park with a huge field of teams from the OIA, ILH, MIL and BIIF. Games are entirely pre-scheduled with no playoff format.
