Meanwhile, the Tigers wrapped up the 2024 season with a commendable record of 18-9. They are looking to make serious strides this season, especially with standout player Sydnie Snook leading the charge. On the other hand, the Bulldogs are eager for a shot at redemption after losing to Eaton in last season’s state championship. With a record of 21-8 in 2024 and the attacking prowess of Jasi Cole, who boasted an astounding batting average of .578, they are ready to face their rivals head-on!

The Cardinals Continue to Impress

Coaching under Rebecca Miller, the Cardinals have proven their prowess with a solid career record of 41-11 and last season’s impressive 22-4 finish. Star players like Aurelia Espinoza, Faith Carlson, and Olivia Vieyra have been essential to the team’s success. Rising stars Jenna McGinnis and Shannon Nielsen are stepping up beautifully to fill the shoes of departing seniors. Their potential translates directly into strength for their championship run!

Legend and Vikings | Aiming for Glory

Over at Legend High School, players have their sights set on the Class 5A state tournament after a painful exit against Cherokee Trail last season. The Vikings are bringing back their experienced roster, including especially prominent sluggers like Elina Gutierrez and Veronica Loera-Tafoya. Following a 12-11 record last season, they’re hungry for improvement, and their three sophomores are set to prove why they belong on that diamond.

Eaton Reds | Reigning Supremacy

Let’s not forget about the Eaton Reds! Having claimed four out of the last five 3A state championships, they are always the team to beat. With star pitcher Johanna Galvan leading the way, their lineup looks strong and ready to defend their title vigorously. The Reds are certainly a prominent force in this year’s competition.
