MaxPreps 2019 preseason high school All-American Softball Team

Three players from No. 1-ranked Norco (Calif.) highlight the 2019 MaxPreps 2019 Preseason All-American Softball Team.

Catcher Kinzie Hansen (Oklahoma signee), pitcher Sarah Willis (Washington pledge) and infielder Paige Smith (Mississippi signee) are three of the 36 players recognized.

The team is filled with players who've been honored previously as MaxPreps All-Americans with selections from both large and small schools. And there are a few on this list who haven't received MaxPreps postseason accolades.

It's an impressive group to say the least. All are future college players, some might be Olympians one day.



Clemson, which makes its softball history this fall when its start-up program takes the field, has it first MaxPreps preseason All-American in outfielder Alia Logoleo of Hillsboro High School (Nashville, Tenn.).

Joining Norco with multiple picks is No. 2 Marist (Chicago) with two players — Lexi Voss (Michigan signee) and Angela Zedak (Northwestern signee).
