2026 Pennsylvania high school softball All-State teams for all 6 classifications

It was a big season for WPIAL softball, which saw four teams win PIAA titles and another two reach championship games last month.

That success was reflected on the Pennsylvania High School Softball Coaches Association's All-State teams.

Fifty-five players from the WPIAL earned first-team honors across the six classifications, including three who were named either Player or Pitcher of the Year in their respective classes and another who was selected the overall Pitcher of the Year.

Hempfield, the PIAA Class 6A champion, led the way with six players selected, a group that included pitcher Julia Varhola, catcher Ella Berkebile, second baseman Jocelyn Luft, shortstop Lauren Howard, outfielder Claire Mitchell and utility player Jayelyn Luft.

Varhola, a senior and James Madison recruit, was picked Class 6A Pitcher of the Year after going 21-1 with a 1.65 ERA to go along with 190 strikeouts in 127 1/3 innings.

Chartiers-Houston, which fell to Laurel in an all-WPIAL Class 2A state final, had five first-team honorees, while Class 1A champion Union boasted four. Union junior catcher Irelyn Fisher was tabbed Player of the Year in Class 1A. She hit .533 with 16 home runs, including seven in the postseason.

Bentworth junior Sydney Gonglik was named Class 2A Pitcher of the Year. An LSU recruit, Gonglik helped Bentworth win its first WPIAL title after going 19-2 with 260 strikeouts in 126 innings while also hitting .529. Gonglik's sister, Makayla, was also a first-team selection as a freshman.

Shaler senior Bria Bosiljevac picked up another huge honor, as she was selected as the overall Pitcher of the Year. An Indiana recruit and the Post-Gazette's Player of the Year, Bosiljevac went 21-0 with a 0.58 ERA, fanned 245 in 133 innings and fired a one-hit shutout while leading Shaler to the PIAA Class 5A championship.

In addition, Belle Vernon senior Sydney Callaway was one of two Courage Award honorees. Callaway was recognized for her perseverance and strong play following the sudden death of her father just before the start of the season.
