JACKSONVILLE – The Houston Academy softball team’s bid to repeat as a state champion fell short, but it still left north Alabama with a trophy.
The Raiders captured the Class 4A state runner-up trophy Saturday afternoon following a 5-0 loss to Orange Beach at Jacksonville State’s Jana McGinnis Field.

I can’t say enough good things about them. They are a quality team and we hung in there with them and gave them some great games.”
“She does what we try to do as well – throw pitches that look like strikes but then end up not being strikes to get you chase the ball a bit,” Cherry said. “She is a good pitcher, but she has a great defense behind her too.”In the first, lead-off hitter Daigle Wilson earned a bunt single and moved to second on a throwing error on the bunt. Teagan Revette followed with a run-scoring single.
HA’s only scoring threat came in the first after Aman’s single. She moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Adams and to third on an Emily Maddox ground out, but was left stranded there after Braya Hodges grounded out. Orange Beach’s Favors was the tournament MVP, while Revette and Robbins were named to the all-tournament team.
