🌟 Notable Performances:
 β€’ Tajhan was a rock at short stop, throwing out over 10 runners and working seamlessly with Sara to lock down second base.
 β€’ Hayley and Meah (our pitching/catching twins) were in total control of the game – skill, knowledge, and those hectic slides to steal bases!
 β€’ Hayley M and Lucy locked down first and third base with confidence.
 β€’ Mia T and Isabella made some great outfield catches, backing up the infield all day.
 β€’ Every single player brought their best – from aggressive base stealing to consistently smart and sharp gameplay. The growth and learning on display were outstanding!

We’re devastated to fall short of the grand final, but proud of every effort. With this kind of spirit and talent, we’re already excited about next year – and determined to bring home that state title again.

Big thanks to:
 β€’ Ms Miles – our incredible coach – your leadership, energy, and belief in the team made all the difference.
 β€’ Mr Freeman – our early morning bus driver and base coach
 β€’ Siena Griffiths & Mitch Liersch – for their support at both region and state level
 β€’ Spencer Evans, and softball up-and-comers Indi Lee Blyth & Layla Gomez Sankari – your help on the day made all the difference!
 β€’ Justin Zelones, from The Pinch Hitter, who provides support to schools and clubs in delivering T-Ball and Softball coaching. He generously coached the team in the two weeks leading up to States!
