CR North traveled to the undefeated number 1 seed, Downingtown West for the second round of the district playoffs today.

Although we came up just a bit short, I could not be more proud of my girls, the season they had, and the game they played this afternoon. These girls really played their hearts out, and showed what it meant to be a team, and as a result, they came very close to pulling off the biggest upset of the 2024 playoffs. The game was an absolute gem for fans of either team to watch. Just great softball all around that truly was a nail biter that came down to the final out. Lucy Mills resembled Picasso with the way she was painting the zone with her pitches today. She kept a very good offensive team off balance unbelievably well, and her teammates did a fantastic job of making sure they did whatever they needed to do to get to the balls and make the plays behind her. She really only gave up 2 hard hit balls all afternoon, unfortunately, they came back-to-back with the second one being a round tripper. Overall, our girls played a clean game behind her, and actually outhit their undefeated foes, unfortunately we just weren't as timely with our hitting as they were, and it ended up reflecting in the final score. This group of girls did our school proud. They played with pride, and class, and really served as great examples for younger girls in the community to look up to and set goals to strive to be like them. That credit goes to our senior class of Taylor Gearhart, Molly Sheehy, Evie Passanante, and Shay Barbolish. Those girls set the tone, and they put this program back onto the map. They raised the bar just a little more every year, and set a great example for our younger returners to follow as we continue to build the program with bigger goals season by season. They were never afraid of a challenge, and they wanted to compete with the best. Today they proved without a shadow of a doubt, they could. This group has 100% left their mark, and we look forward to their legacy living on with the team in coming seasons.
