From Head Coach Trina Christen:
The Warrior Softball team finished the season with a record of 28-7 and a State Championship!
Those 7 losses came at the hands of 4 other state qualifying teams: Class B Bennington and Ralston, and Class C Raymond Central and Arlington.
During the regular season, the Warriors took 2nd place in the Ashland-Greenwood Invite, 1st place in the Plattsmouth Tournament, 2nd place in the Conference Tournament, 1st place in the Bishop Neumann Quadrangular, and 2nd place in Districts.
During the State Tournament in Hastings, the girls opened up play with Guardian Angels CC from West Point. The Warriors’ offense was lead by Taylor Otte, Michaela Miller, Rachel Stratman, Sydney Hancock, and Aubrey Voboril. Voboril hit a 2-run homerun in this first round game and was the winning pitcher.
In game 2 the Warriors faced the Gothenburg Swedes. They won this game with a score of 11-4. The bats were hot once again and the offense compiled a total of 18 hits! Aubrey Voboril, Shauna Tweedy, and Kelsi Anderson all went 3-4 to lead the offense. Taylor Otte, Alicia Iversen, Sydney Hancock, and Morgan Talbert all went an impressive 2-4 as well.
Launch the media gallery 2 playerIn the 3rd round game, the Warriors faced Ashland-Greenwood and won 10-2 in 5 innings. The Warrior bats stayed hot in this game as well. They were lead by Taylor Otte, Sydney Hancock, Aubrey Voboril, and Kelsi Anderson. Both Hancock and Voboril hit out-of-the-park homeruns. Voboril took the win on the mound striking out 6 and only allowing 6 hits.
In the championship game the bats started a little quiet for Wahoo; however, in the 6th inning they came alive to score 7 runs. Taylor Otte, Aubrey Voboril, Rachel Stratman, and Morgan Talbert all had key offensive performances for the Warriors. Otte led the game off with a solo homerun! Once again Voboril got the best of the Jays on the mound. Defensively the girls played solid throughout the tournament. It took hard base hits from the opponents to get runners in scoring position.
The girls never stopped believing and came to Hastings with one goal in mind. By late Friday they had accomplished that goal. Our senior leaders set the pace and everyone followed them right onto a State Championship. After a few roller coaster rides throughout the season, this was the perfect ending!
