Softball Poll: Two East Texas Newcomers to Class 2A Rankings

Grand Saline and New Boston jumped into the Texas Girls Coaches Association's Class 2A rankings, which were released Monday morning.

The two additions to the 2A poll give East Texas six ranked teams in that classification and 18 total.

No. 8 Troup leads the region's 2A contingent, followed by No. 16 Central Heights, No. 21 Sabine, No. 22 Grand Saline, No. 23 Winnsboro, and New Boston, which was tied with Vanderbilt Industrial for 25th.

Hallsville slipped one spot to No. 17 in the Class 4A rankings. Class 3A remained the strongest classification for East Texas with seven ranked teams, including four top 10 schools once again: No. 4 Rusk, No. 5 Henderson, No. 7 Gladewater, No. 10 Lufkin Hudson, No. 15 Mineola, No. 19 Gilmer, and No. 22 Jasper.

Alto kept its distinction as East Texas' highest-ranked team with the No. 3 spot in the Class A poll, which also included fourth-ranked Harleton, No. 10 Beckville, and No. 16 Saltillo.
