Spring sport state champions will be determined this month after the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the games in 2020.
Which area softball teams have the best chance to win titles at Spring Fling May 25-28 in Murfreesboro?
Here are nine Midstate squads to watch during the TSSAA postseason:
Class A
Local front-runner: Summertown (27-2-1)
Summertown captured the Class A crown in 2018 and finished second in 2019, so itâs no surprise to see the Lady Eagles back in the hunt this year. The teamâs only losses were to Class AA programs Forrest and Nolensville early in the season. Summertown might be ready for better competition after outscoring its opponents 211-19 through the first 30 games.

BEDFORD – Anyone who has walked through the hallway where the state championship team photos adorn the walls, anyone who has stared up at the banners waving softly in the northeast corner of BNL Fieldhouse, knows the impact of Austin “Pete” Pritchett.
He’s the Godfather of Bedford North Lawrence basketball, the Hall of Fame coach, the giant gentleman who directed the Stars to two state championships and established the program as one of Indiana’s best. Everything linked to the tradition of BNL centers on the bear of a man who towered over his kids and demanded their best.

BEDFORD – Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, and 2020 certainly qualifies. That’s why, in case the worst should happen, Bedford North Lawrence will honor its best earlier than normal.
Normal? What’s that now? Rather than tempt Fate and wait until the traditional home finale in late January to celebrate the six seniors on the roster, the Stars will fast-forward the annual observance for the team elders to Thursday night.
The seventh-ranked Stars (7-1) will face Seymour (4-3) in an important Hoosier Hills Conference clash, but for a brief time that will be overshadowed as the senior class of Chloe McKnight, Irye Gomez, Jenna Louden, Haley Deckard, Makena Moore and Grace Kinser take their bows.
