Question for those, perhaps, new to fastpitch softball: what five states crown their high school softball champions in the Fall?

We recently covered the action in Oklahoma and, this week, another state will see playoff action advance towards finalizing the state’s best: Georgia.

The other three states, by the way, are Colorado (completed earlier this month), Missouri (being held this week) and Nebraska (completed last week).

In the Peach State, the 2024-2025 Georgia High School Association (GHSA) State Fastpitch Softball Tournament begins tomorrow—Wednesday, October 30 and will conclude on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024, with championships being decided in eight divisions with 64 teams looking to make it to the finals.
