Before Saks High won the Class 3A state softball championship last year, Tiffany Springer made two major transitions.
First, Springer was bumped up to the varsity team from junior varsity early in the season. Then she was the subject of a debate between then-coach Mike Tucker and his staff -- whether she would play second base or shortstop.

When you reach the semifinal round of the Alabama High School Athletic Association’s baseball playoffs, your ‘A’ game needs to come with you.
Randolph County’s first experience at the semifinal level of the postseason started poorly for the Tigers then got worse. Home standing Westbrook Christian scored four times in the bottom of the first inning in the first game of the Class 2A best-of-three series and eventually won 19-0 in five innings. In the nightcap, the Tigers (27-8) batted as the home team but the change didn’t help as the Warriors won 15-1 in six frames.
