How did you prepare for

I practiced a lot with my coach and I

Describe how it felt when

you realized you had just

won the State title. What

was it like? The feeling was something I can't really describe in words. I felt that all of the hard work I put in, and all the preparation led to that moment. I remember I looked at my mom, and we were both so happy. I don't think I will ever forget that moment.

How do you think the season

as a whole led up to the State

match? We had a relaxed season, and

we all worked together well. When we didn't move on as a

team, I felt motivated to move on as an individual and win for

the girls and my coach.

What, if anything, would you

have done differently during the

regular season? At the

championship match? I wouldn't have done anything differently. Everything in the season went smoothly. At State, everything went perfectly with the match. The crowd was unbelievable,, my friends were so supportive, and everything leading up to and during the match was just the way it needed to be. It all lined up perfectly.

at state

the match of a lifetime?

also played in a tournament prior to the State match to prepare.

“The most unforgettable moment of

the championship was Olivia's last

pitch because she struck the girl out and

that was the moment we had all

been waiting for .

Then I rushed the field with my

teammates and we grabbed the trophy

while we were all jumping around. It was a

crazy feeling that I will never forget. It

was so unbelievable to know that we had

earned this win and achieved our

dreams ”

- senior Lydia Merriman SUPPLEMENT

Bloomington South's softball team beat the odds and came

out on top with a historical, first-ever State championship title. June 3rd. In hopes of continuing

the winning streak four days later,

they defeated two opponents in

one day: New Castle High School

and Decatur Central High School.

With the Semi-State round played

and defeated, the team forged

together into the State finals.

Exactly one week later, on

June 14, all apprehension was

pushed aside when it came time to

play Hamilton Southeastern (HSE)

in the State Championship game.

South swept the competition away

during those seven intense innings;

the Lady Panthers scored six runs

while HSE managed only two. In

the end purple prevailed, South

brought home the State title, and

this one team's one dream came

true.

MOMENTUM

ONE TEAM,

one dream

It was improbable, uncertain, and

some deemed it lofty. Yet, the

vision of the state championship

trophy never faded from the

Bloomington High School South

girls' softball team. They were one

team with one dream during the

2013-2014 season, and took that

motto all the way to State.

On May 27, the Lady

Panthers defeated their first

opponent, East Central High

School, with a 3-1 victory. They

followed this with a swift 3-0

victory over Bloomington High

School North. Moving forward, the

team left Columbus North High

School in the dust and took home

the Sectional title. The girls

definitely did not disappoint at

Regionals when they took on
