Pre-Pre-Season Softball Predictions

The dust has just been cleared from home plate in Akron and already I can't wait to predict what the landscape will look like for next season. There will be some new teams that pop-up out of nowhere, but the typical powers will be back vying for another shot at the title. So without further ado, here are my 2009 softball pre-pre-season rankings!

Not bad. I know Akron Hoban returns junior Lauren McNeil to the circle and Hebron Lakewood will enjoy the returning presence of Alissa Birkhimer.

I would've put Bloom-Carroll a little higher as senior Gabby Gillilan returns.
