LONGWOOD — Seminole County will be represented very well when the FHSAA visits Boombah-Soldiers Creek Park for the first time for the 2025 Fastpitch Softball State Championships this week.
Three different local programs, Hagerty High School in Class 7A, Winter Springs High School in Class 5A and The Geneva School in Class 1A, all won Regional Championships last Thursday to earn trips to the State Final 4.
Area fans knew that someone was going to state as Lake Brantley (25-4) and Hagerty (23-6) were scheduled to face each other for the Class 7A-Region 1 title and the Final was tied at 7-7 after the regulation seven innings of play.
But the Hagerty offense exploded for three runs in the top of the eighth inning and the host Patriots were unable to answer back as the Huskies earned the Championship by a score of 10-7.
In Class 5A-Region 2 it was the top-seeded Bears from Winter Springs (22-8) scoring early and often and holding off visiting Gainesville High School (17-8), 9-3, in the Championship Game.
In Class 1A-Region 2, it was The Geneva School (21-3) pulling off a minor upset, eliminating top-seeded and host Foundation Academy (17-8), 5-3, in the finale.
The Boombah-Soldiers Creek Park in Longwood was selected to host the 2025 Florida High School Softball State Championships earlier this month. The 2025 championship event featuring 32 teams will take place Tuesday, May 20 through Saturday, May 24.
Boombah-Soldiers Creek Park, also known locally as 5-Points, is on FL-419, a mile east of 17-92 heading towards Winter Springs.
