The MIAA released its most recent power rankings of the 2025 spring season on Friday morning, and several Hampshire County teams are slotted pretty high in their respective sports/divisions. The Hampshire Regional softball team is the lone local squad to earn a No. 1 ranking, as the Raiders check in as the top seed in Division 4 after appearing at No. 2 in the previous edition.

A total of seven Pioneer Valley teams are inside the top 10, including three in the Division 4 bracket for softball. Let’s take a look at where each team stands (all records listed are via the MIAA website).
