May 1—For the first time since 2017, the Pisgah softball team is Mountain 8 champions. "It represents the work that these girls have been putting in, some of them for four years before being starters," said Pisgah Softball Coach Heidi Morgan. "Our conference is tough, and I'm just proud that we were able to persevere and battle to the top.
" The Bears are currently ranked in the top 10 of the 4A division for the entire state, meaning Pisgah will likely have a first-round bye and a couple of home games to open the playoffs up next week. "They're excited, but still ready to put the work in. Next week, we'll turn our focus to playoffs," Morgan said.
While the Bears haven't been at the pinnacle of the conference for nine years, they've spent nearly a decade knocking on the door of a conference title. Over that stretch, the Bears have consistently finished second or third in the conference, coming up behind West Henderson and Franklin in various years. Pisgah softball clinched the conference title by winning both its games against Brevard this week, with a 4-2 win on Monday and 9-5 win on Thursday.
