#GoodNewsFriday: Back to Back
Last year, the Stamford Lady Bulldogs softball team made history by becoming Stamford’s first girls athletic team to make it to state. Turns out, it wasn’t an outlier, it was a trend! That squad won a state title and then our girls basketball team made it all the way to the state championship game. Now, 12 months later, the softball team is headed back to state to defend their title!
On Wednesday, Stamford defeated Hamlin in the regional final in Abilene. It was such a massive crowd that people were stacked all the way down both sides on the foul lines. More than a few were even standing behind the outfield wall. Tonight, a few of those softball and basketball girls will graduate high school. Their days representing Stamford High School are coming to a close, but they have made a community proud and inspired several generations of Lady Bulldogs to come. We wish them luck at state and we thank them for what they mean to our community!
