Excel Christian Academy softball moves up two spots

The final 2015 GHSA power ratings for Class A private schools were released today and Excel Christian Academy moved up two spots to eleventh.

The Lady Eagles were ranked 13th in the previous ratings. At this point, schools have an opportunity to appeal their final rating if a school believes the formula was not correctly applied. The state playoff bracket will be announced by 4pm Wednesday, October 14.

If there were any private school teams not ranked in the top 16 and they won their region tournament, those teams will be placed in the state playoffs bracket first and seeded according to their rating. The remaining spots will be filled by the top teams in the ratings.

The Class A private schools bracket will consist of 16 teams. Each first round best-of-three series will be hosted October 21-22 by the higher seeded team. Teams will play a doubleheader on the first day. Any series requiring a third game will play on the second day. The final ratings list of the top 16 teams.
