HHSS Softball Preview: Cheverus hopes to dethrone Windham this time around

In 2024, Windham's softball team, the top-seed, reigning state champion and favorite to repeat, was upset by Cheverus in an epic regional final with the Stags going on to capture the Class A state championship.

Last spring, the teams' roles reversed, as the top-ranked, undefeated Stags saw their reign end with a regional final loss to the Eagles, who went on to seize the crown.

This season, Cheverus, which finished 18-1 a year ago, falling 1-0 to Windham in the Class A South Final, returns to the role of favorite, for what it's worth, and the Stags appear poised to take their turn back atop the heap.
