Softball fans in Northwest Georgia may debate which team was better, but no one can dispute that Gordon Lee and Heritage just completed two of the most dominant postseason showings in winning GHSA state championships Saturday in Columbus.
Heritage defeated Cherokee Bluff 5-0 to complete a perfect run over four days at the South Commons Softball Complex in winning the Class AAA championship, the program’s second state title in a row and fifth overall.
The Lady Generals (34-2) outscored their Elite Eight opposition 29-1 in Columbus this time, and they held a 81-3 edge in runs with all postseason games included.
Gordon Lee (32-3) mercy-ruled Toombs County, 11-1, in the Class A Division I final for the program’s 12th championship, all under coach Dana Mull. This 2024 team outscored Columbus opponents 40-5 and held a 83-14 edge in all postseason games.
Both winning coaches laughed when asked which team would win if they played.
