Is a third WPIAL championship in the Beaver Area softball team’s future?

Only time will tell with a current record of 3-2 and a conference record of 1-1 for the Cats.

Beaver Area was the 2021 WPIAL and State champions as well as the 2022 WPIAL champions making all eyes turn towards them before every game.

Sophomore Sami Springman explained that “It’s a rollercoaster; we really have to ride out the waves. We need to become a team and we are getting there.”

The Bobcats fell to Deer Lakes with a final score of 12-2 for the season opener March 21.

Shortly after the worrisome loss against the Lancers, Beaver Area had two wins against Our Lady of the Sacred Heart (OLSH) and Shenango March 22 and 24.

The final score was a close 6-5 against OLSH and a not-so-close 21-2 victory against Shenango.

For their first of four back-to-back conference games the Cats lost to Mountor 7-2 March 28.

Hampton traveled to the home of the Bobcats for the fifth game of the season and walked away with a tail-between-the-legs loss March 30.

Sophomore Taylor Young said, “I think that our team really worked together at this game more than ever, and it turned out how we wanted.”

The final score was 7-4 with a victory against the Talbots for the Bobcats.

“We won 7-4. After Sami’s hit it was contagious. Everybody started hitting and we got to show everyone what we could do,” sophomore Kenzie Springer.
