Top 25 Sac-Joaquin Section high school softball rankings

It's that time of the year where teams are just getting rolling, coaches are figuring who fits in and in what spots, and the underclassmen are getting a taste of what it's like playing high school ball.

As expected in Week One, it's hard to judge what teams will be like this season. We have seen some impressive starts so far. Tracy jumped up to No. 1 overall after starting the season with wins over Oakdale and Cosumnes Oaks (Elk Grove).

Roseville made the biggest move, jumping 15 spots as the Tigers looked sharp in wins over now No. 25 Lincoln, and No. 9 Whitney (Rocklin).
