KS High School Softball Rankings

MaxPreps has the below listed rankings for Kansas high school softball teams for May 7, 2021.  Note that most of  the teams ranked above Rossville are large  schools,  not 3A.    The W/L records they show are suspect,  so how important these rankings are would be questionable.
