High school softball: Red-hot Enterprise sweeps San Juan, wins fifth 2A title in the past eight seasons

Enterprise pitcher Lauren Ramos (14) holds up the championship trophy as she and her teammates celebrate after defeating San Juan 7-4 in the 2A softball state championship game, held at Gail Miller Field in Provo on Saturday, May 9, 2026. | Isaac Hale, Deseret News The math was pretty simple for Enterprise after scoring just one run in a 2A quarterfinal loss to South Sevier on Thursday afternoon. The Wolves’ only hope of a state championship from that point forward was winning seven straight games over three days, something they hadn’t done all year.

Despite the long odds, coach Katye Jones believed her team was capable of such a streak. First, she’d seen her players hit all season and knew they were cable of a bounce back, and secondly her young team likely was due to have a game like that. “I think the first game, our nerves got the best of us.

Most of them haven’t played in a key role in a state tournament,” said Jones, who after that game stressed with the team the need to be more disciplined in all facets of the game. The message resonated, because Enterprise’s bats came alive after that. The Wolves won their next two games Thursday, three more on Friday by scoring double-digit runs in each game and then beat San Juan twice on Saturday at BYU’s Gail Miller Field to win the 2A state championship despite the unlikely odds.

Senior leader Mylee Platt said everything changed after that 9-1 quarterfinal loss to South Sevier. “It lit a fire underneath us and we knew we had to work hard, so every at-bat we’re like ‘We got it, we got it, we got it,’ and we just encouraged each other,” said Platt. Enterprise arrived at BYU on Saturday knowing it needed to beat top seed San Juan twice to win the championship, which was no small task, as the Broncos were the only undefeated team left in the double-elimination tournament.
