3CFCA announces 2021 All-State Softball Teams
SAN BERNARDINO - The 2021 CCCAA softball season was one that will go down as one of the most unique ever.
Players faced challenges off the field that were just as trying as the ones they faced on the diamond. But the players from schools that opted in to the condensed 2021 season still performed at the level expected from softball players at their level.
And while every player who suited up in 2021 deserves recognition for making it through a season filled with uncertainties and extra health scrutiny, there were some who rose to the top, and have been honored for being the very best in the state.
