The Chambers Academy softball team finished one game away from a state championship appearance, finishing third in the state with a mostly underclassman team.

The Beulah softball team went further than it’s ever been before, finishing as the fourth-best team in 3A. The Bobcats reached the final day of the season. In the playoffs, the Bobcats beat the No. 2 and No. 5 teams in the state, narrowly losing to the No. 1 team in the state as well.

The Valley softball team reached the South Regional semifinal game in its first year in 6A.
