Homewood 10U Softball All Stars
Homewood 10U Softball All Stars celebrate their state championship win.
The Homewood 10U All Stars softball team had to win four games in order to make the state championship against top seeded Hoover. Its journey to league championship began with a double elimination tournament. The All-Stars defeated Springville 1-0 and then crushed Moody 14-1 to place them in the No. 2 seed for the next day’s bracket play.
The All-Stars were triumphant over Moody 12-0 to advance to the semi-final of the winners bracket. Next, the team knocked out No. 1 seed Hoover Black Widows in a 6-2 victory to guarantee their spot in the final game. Homewood scored three runs early and held Hoover to two runs to complete six innings of a hard fought game between both teams.
“The girls did an amazing job and worked really hard this past season to reach their goal of winning state,” said Alissa Brock, senior recreation leader for Homewood Parks and Recreation.
The girls’ overall combined record for both OTM and all-stars is 45-6. Their overall record is 19-4.
Team members are Zoe Couch, Camille Etheridge, Kayla Mardis, Ella Walker, Katherine Howell, Susanna Sheehan, Eva White, Isabella Antonio, Hunter Dunn, Emily Dunn and Livy Dunn.
