The first poll of the Kentucky high school softball season is here
The Kentucky Softball Coaches Association on Sunday released its first top-25 poll of the 2018 season.
Scott County received 14 of a possible 20 first-place votes. East Carter received three first-place selections while Madisonville, Male and Woodford County each received one.
The Cardinals are 6-1 this season with no losses against in-state teams (they’ve so far only played two of those — Ashland Blazer and No. 17 Boyle County). Their next game is at Anderson County on April 11.
Woodford County, ranked ninth, is the only other 11th Region team that appeared in the top 25. The Yellow Jackets are 4-1, their only loss coming against No. 7 Christian County.
