Vote: Which was national high school girls sports play of the year in spring 2024?
As the calendar officially turns to fall sports this week, it’s time to pick the national play of the year from the 2024 spring season in high school girls sports.
The SBLive/SI staff watched a bunch of highlights throughout the high school spring sports season and picked our top 10 plays of the week every week.
We took our 10 weekly winners and compiled them into one big highlight reel, as we did earlier this week for boys spring sports.
As you’ll see in the highlight video below, every top play in girls spring sports was in softball, but you won’t find any from Georgia, which plays its softball season in the fall.
Check out the video and vote in the poll below to choose the best of the best from the spring 2024 high school girls sports season.
The voting will conclude Wednesday, Aug. 21, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.
