Softball team earns third State Academic Championship

For the third time in school history, the Century softball team has earned a state academic title, the previous two being 2018 and 2020.

It is apparent that these girls work really hard on and off the field, Coach Daniels stated.

All athletes at Century High School are required to maintain at least a 2.0 GPA, with grade checks occuring every six weeks. The softball team far exceeded this measure, coming in with a 3.80 average unweighted cumulative GPA. Many of the girls juggled a busy schedule with AP classes, other sports, work, and home life. Senior Emme C said, "It was very hard to balance everything. I don't know how I did it, but I did! Softball was my academic motivation. If you didn't get good grades, you couldn't play, so it motivated me to keep my grades up." The team's motto for the season was, "if it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you" and many of the teammates believe that reminder was a driving force in leading them to success both on and off the field.
