MaxPreps Top 25 high school softball rankings

As expected, the two top ranked teams closed out their regular season in winning fashion, but it was Keystone (La Grange, Ohio) senior pitcher Sydney Campbell stealing the spotlight as she recorded her 53rd consecutive win and came within one out of pitching two perfect games last week.

Campbell led No. 14-ranked Keystone to the Prebis Memorial Tournament title over the weekend. In the process, Keystone handed Perrysburg its first loss of the season, 2-1 in eight innings, and then Campbell pitched 6.2 innings of no-hit ball before allowing a double with two out in the seventh in the 1-0 title win over Champion (Warren).
