HOLLAND, Pa. — Although they both had already punched their tickets to the state tournament that gets underway next week, the Council Rock South and North Penn softball teams went at it on Tuesday as if everything was on the line. The result was an excellent game that could have gone either way at any moment and ended up as a 1-0 victory for North Penn in the PIAA District 1 Class 6A semifinals.

HAMILTON TWP. — If nothing else, Steinert High softball coach Jenn Melker certainly won’t have to worry about her team being cocky or overconfident when state tournament play gets underway on Wednesday. In its last regular season game, Steinert was soundly beaten by St. John Vianney, 5-1, on Saturday. When you add in a stunning loss to Hightstown earlier in the week in the Colonial Valley Conference Championships, suffice it to say Steinert (15-4) has been served a huge slice of humble pie.

LANGHORNE, Pa. — There are dynasties in sports and there is the Bristol High School softball team. A 9-4 winner over New Hope-Solebury on Friday, Bristol did more than prevail in the PIAA District 1 Class 2A championship game. Incredibly, it also marked the 27th time in a row Bristol has won a district title. The only other time the number 27 immediately comes to mind in sports is the number of World Series championships won by the New York Yankees.
