Franklin will look to challenge Kenosha Bradford for the top spot in the Southeast this season. The Sabres have only two seniors on its roster led by Kasey Felden Sr P and Taylor Truong Sr OF. Franklin is mostly led by its junior class including Kailey Anderson Jr C, Emily Gavin Jr SS, and Paige Walker Jr OF. Franklin will also have some newcomers to the table this season in Melanie Gavin Fr, Adelina Malaj Fr, and Ella Anderson Fr.

Oak Creek looks to stay at the top of the Southeast Conference in its final season before it shifts to the Classic 8 Conference in 2026. Jeff Trask (242-144), who has 13 years, four state appearances and seven Conference Championships at Oak Creek and 17 years as a Head Coach overall, says “We will have a strong group of pitchers, we will be fast, and we will have a majority of our kids returning from last year.” Aly Skrobis Sr Pitcher (2nd team all SEC, 14-5 120 IP 1.92 ERA 158 Strikeouts), Rita Sippy Jr IF/P (1st team SEC 30 runs scored). Kennedy Christopher Jr IF (1st team all SEC, 1st team All State, committed to Kentucky, 33 Hits 22 Walks 9 Home Runs 33 RBI .452 avg) and Macy Blooming Sr Utility (Honorable Mention All SEC 22 RBI) highlight the top returnees for the Knights. Oak Creek will also face some stiff non-conference competition with single games against Westosha Central, Muskego, Wisconsin Lutheran, Arrowhead and New Berlin Eisenhower.

The Hawks return Morgan Calhoun SS Sr (all conference, all district, Illinois State signee), Emma Lighthizer Sr P (Wisconsin Lutheran signee), Claire Giese Jr OF and Madi Mismash Jr P to its line up for 10th year Head Coach Matt Bradley. “We will be on the young side starting three sophomores and a freshman," said Bradley. "We will compete and the team works hard, it should be exciting to watch their growth this season.” Kenosha Indian Trail will compete in the Cedarburg Classic in May with a solid grouping of schools.
