As reported by Andy Morales of AllSportsTucson and Jason Skoda of AZPreps365, Tanque Verde softball won its first state championship as a program in dominating fashion, run-ruling Yuma Catholic 10-0 in five innings to win the 3A title game. As Morales noted, the #7-seeded Hawks tore through the postseason tournament, defeating the 10th, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th-ranked teams by a combined score of 37-2.
Speed School athletes Ella Haggard and Mikaela Jackson each had active bats in the championship game, contributing to the Tanque Verde rally leading to the mercy rule. The Hawks’ team also includes Speed School athletes Cassidy Jones, Julia Pratt, Lizzy Pratt, and Shea Reilly.
