Lake Leelanau St. Mary softball went into Friday’s MHSAA Div. 4 softball tournament Friday as an underdog, facing the No. 1-seed Buckley Bears in the district semifinal. Despite the odds, the Eagles came out victorious to win its fourth district championship in a row 4-2.
“It felt really good to win for four years in a row. It felt extra special for my senior year, though,” St. Mary senior Delana Kirt said. “I don’t want it to end yet … It’s hard to get four district championships in a row. It was just exhilarating for me.”
The Eagles move on to the regional tournament Saturday at Frankfort. The Eagles will battle the Panthers at noon with the winner facing Bellaire or Holton to decide a regional championship at 2 p.m.
