LANCASTER — Both the Lancaster softball and baseball teams had ultra-successful seasons, and for their efforts, several players earned All-Ohio Capital Conference-Buckeye Division honors.

A year after making school history by reaching the state tournament, the Lady Gales reached another milestone by not only making the final four again but also taking it a step further by reaching the state championship game. The Gales upset Austintown-Fitch 4-0 in the Division I state semifinal. Fitch was undefeated, ranked No. 1 in the state, and was nationally ranked. The Gales lost a heartbreaker in the state title game, falling 7-5 against Hilliard Bradley.

Lancaster finished with a 24-8 overall record and a 12-2 mark in the OCC.

The Lancaster baseball team finished with a 21-7-1 overall record and won the OCC-Buckeye Division championship with a 13-1 record. The Gales defeated Newark in the final league to clinch the title outright.
