The Beaver Area softball team’s championship dreams have shifted to more realistic hopes of a rebuilding year.

With a current 1-3 conference record and an overall record of 2-5 the Bobcats’ season is not going the way players and fans had hoped—especially after last year’s tremendous run.

Beaver Area is currently fifth in the sectional standings despite being section champions in both 2021 and 2022.

Following a big 7-4 win against the Hampton Talbots March 30, the Bobcats have had three consecutive losses.

The Bobcats fell to the current section leaders, Chartiers Valley, April 3 with a final score of 4-1.

Just two days later, April 5, the Cats faced the Blackhawk Cougars in an extremely high scoring game.

But the Bobcats walked away from this match-up with another loss and a final score of 13-11.

The Union Scotties traveled to Beaver Area April 11 and went home with a win. The final score was 23-13 favoring the Scotties in a commanding victory.

The Bobcats then faced Ambridge in an away game match-up April 14. Beaver Area tried and succeeded in putting the huge Union loss behind them: the Cats won with a final score of 14-3 against the Bridgers.

April 17 the Bobcats were supposed to take on the North Catholic Trojans, but this game was postponed due to rain.
