This release comes via National Fastpitch Coaches Association

Melissa won two more games to remain undefeated and atop the NFCA Spring High School Top 25 Coaches Poll for a fourth straight week.

The (23-0) Cardinals soared past Greenville 18-0 last Friday and cruised by Sherman 15-0 Tuesday.

Melissa has outscored its opponents by a 296-21 margin this season, and have yielded just four runs over its last 12 contests. The Cardinals have Anna up next on Friday. Melissa has multiple four-star recruits, including 2025 Texas signee Caigan Crabtree and 2026 Florida commit Kennedy (KB) Bradley.

Little changed in the rankings after that, with the entire top 10 staying put. Those 10 teams combined to go a perfect 26-0 for the week.

California’s unbeaten Oak Ridge (13-0) joined the poll in the No. 11 position, while Missouri power Diamond (10-0) surged two places to 16th after another solid week.

The biggest mover of the week was Weddington (12-1), which lost 4-1 to Marvin Ridge and slipped 10 full spots, from 11th to No. 21.

Eighteen of the 25 schools ranked in the poll do not have a loss this season.

State rankings submitted by the NFCA High School Steering Committee are used to compile the NFCA Spring High School Top 25 Coaches Poll. Teams are chosen based on performance, roster quality and strength of schedule.
