South Caldwell High School’s softball and baseball squads have both earned spots in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association state championships, setting the stage for a historic weekend of competition.
Spartans chase their first 6A crowns
The softball team rallied from a three‑run deficit, with Holland Weisner delivering a clutch triple that knotted the game before Tempy Trivette capped the comeback with a walk‑off single, securing a 7‑6 victory.
Meanwhile, the baseball squad posted a 5‑3 win over longtime rivals Alexander Central, showcasing steady pitching and timely hitting that kept the pressure on throughout the contest.
Both teams will now meet their respective opponents in the championship finals — softball against Union Pines and baseball against Southern Lee — with the games scheduled at Duke University for the softball title and Burlington Athletic Park for the baseball title, allowing die‑hard fans to catch both events back‑to‑back.
The upcoming matchups mark the first time the Spartans will contest a 6A championship, having captured the 4A crown the previous year, and the staggered start times are designed to give supporters a chance to experience each game in full.
As the Spartans prepare to bring home the inaugural 6A titles, the community looks forward to celebrating a season of resilience, teamwork, and unforgettable moments on the diamond.
