The 2026 softball season was really solid for Section 1. Two teams made it to state finals. Even though both Pearl River and Dobbs Ferry came up short, Section 1 shined in the postseason awards. Thirty players garnered All-State Honors and Section 1 had a coach named New York State Coach of the Year. Behind that will be the Journal News/lohud All-Stars, which we'll release soon. But, with an argument to be made for a handful of stars who shined brightest, we're having a readers' choice poll for the lohud Softball Player of the Year, presented by White Plains Hospital. This poll will not determine which athletes are eventually named our Westchester/Putnam and Rockland players of the year, but the poll winner will be recognized in our All-Star segment. It's also an opportunity for our readers to share their opinions on who had the most impressive season. The poll is open until 3 p.m. July 5. 🔗 Vote at the link in bio. #lohudSports #lohudSoftball #softball #whiteplainshospital wphos...
