Aliv Wauford again in postseason circle for Gibsonburg softball
Gibsonburg softball collects missing piece of last year's puzzle with league championship.
Last year's trip to a state semifinal didn't include everything Gibsonburg wanted. The Golden Bears did something they didn't do last season by earning a conference championship this season in the Sandusky Bay Conference River Division. Gibsonburg still plays Lakota with an opportunity to take the crown outright.
The Golden Bears lost twice to New Riegel last season, but Ava Amor drove in the game's only run in the top of the seventh to capture at least a share of the league championship. "A league championship for our team means all the work in the season and offseason ... it was a big goal since we didn't win it last year," Amor said.
High school softball Margaretta softball's Cassidy Lane not afraid to try new things Gibsonburg (15-3, 11-1) used last season as a foundation. "Making that big run, especially as a freshman, it was an amazing, surreal experience at Firestone Stadium with that big crowd," Amor said. "That environment was a great feeling.
Everybody is excited and wants to make another run. " Amor helped the Golden Bears with her bat in the postseason, after earning first-team status at pitcher in the SBC River Division after the regular season. She suffered a hip injury that prevented her from pitching, but allowed her to hit and field.
