State Champs!!
State Champs!!
Yesterday The Lady Bearcats from Cairo (my hometown) won the class 1 State Championship in softball. Very big deal for our little town. To give you an idea how small we are, we have one building for preschool through 12th grade, and it's not a big school. Our town is about 250 people with some farm communities scattered around, so to win a State Championship is a very big deal. High School Girls softball goes 7 innings. Well we got to the 7th inning still tied at 0 after some great pitching and defense on both sides. The game wound up going 15 innings, which is a record for class 1 playoffs. Also records were broken by our pitcher for strikeouts in a game (she pitched all 15 innings), and runners left on base (both teams combined). It was one of those games where no one should lose. Both teams played their heart out, and emotions were very high, even for those of us in the stands. I have to say it was one of the greatest games on any level I have ever seen. Congrats to the Lady Cats from Cairo!!!
