The Louisiana Softball Coaches Association and LouisianaPreps.com released the final edition of the 2018 LSCA Softball Coaches Top Ten Poll on Friday afternoon.
Just days before the start of the state tournament, a panel of LHSAA head coaches from each class around the state turned in their ballots of top ten programs. Ouachita Parish, Parkview Baptist, Brusly, Calvary Baptist, Cedar Creek, Holden and Calvin all took the top spot in their respective classes to close out the 2018 season.
Another panel will be chosen for next season with a poll announced every two weeks during the regular season.
