Softball State Recap Presented By WSU Tech

Class 6A 

After falling to the potential state champion Olathe West Owls, the Derby Panthers took on Olathe Northwest. 

“Third-place game is always tough, especially when you have to play so quickly after the semi-finals game,” coach Christine Weve said. “It is nice ending the season with a win, but disappointing not to be playing in the championship game.”

The Panthers finished their season with a 5-3 win and a 23-2 record. 

Class 5A

Valley Center became back-to-back state champions after a 16-8 win over AVCTL foe Goddard Eisenhower. 

Class 4A 

Clearwater finished fourth place losing in the third-place game to Eudora 1-0. 

Class 3A

Coming into state as the one seed Haven took care of business against Scott City, winning 17-2. 

The Wildcats fell to Santa Fe Trail 2-0. 

“The 3rd place game against Southeast of Saline was strange, as those games can often be,” head coach Darin Ashworth said, “Not a lot of emotion, just going through the motions, a game that had to be played. After the game was over, there wasn’t much celebrating or excitement — the semifinal game was incredibly intense, and losing it really drained us. There weren’t a lot of emotions left.” 

Haven finished the season right with an 8-3 win over Southeast of Saline.
