16U Charlton Takes On Heat And All Opposition in Runner Up Finish At USA State

July ’25 – Selah, WA – In temperatures soaring up to 101 degrees, the 16U Charlton squad nearly went back-to-back on State Championships.  After winning the USSSA State Championship two weeks earlier, the squad nearly made it a two-fer after a tough tourney in the desert heat for the USA Softball A/B State Championship.  Falling just short, the team came in 2^ndand took away hardware and some tough earned experience in perseverance.  Kudos to catcher McKenna Charlton, who caught every inning in the heat (due to catcher Kaylie Plyler’s pre-planned vacation).  Finally succumbing to a strong and often-faced Diamond Cats team, it was a memorable trip and solidifies this team as one of the tops in the State.
