The path to Oxford for the AHSAA State Softball Championships is now complete for five Dothan Eagle coverage teams.
Now, the five want to stay in Oxford for a while. More specifically, the five want to stay long enough to play on the Stadium Field of Oxford’s Choccolocco Park, the part of the sports complex used for a state championship contest.
The Raiders are in one of the most intriguing classifications at the state championships in Oxford – one that features a rarity – three returning state champions among the eight teams. In addition to HA, defending 4A champ Curry is in the 4A field along with last year’s 2A champion Orange Beach, which jumped up two classes in the recent reclassification.
The other opening 4A match-ups are White Plains against Orange Beach and Prattville Christian, a state runner-up in Class 3A two years ago, versus Curry. Both of those games are also at 10:45 a.m. Friday. The winner faces the Thorsby-Sumiton Christian winner Tuesday afternoon at 2:15 p.m. The losers of the two games meet also at 2:15 p.m. The other two opening 2A games are Hatton against Lamar County and J.U. Blacksher versus Ider.
The two local Class 3A teams, Ashford and Opp, open play on Wednesday. Ashford , a state tournament participant for the first time since 2009, opens against Plainview, while Opp , which last played at state in 2018, faces Piedmont in its opener. Both games are at 10:45 a.m. Beulah is making a third straight appearance. Mars Hill Bible was the Class 2A runner-up last year and is in 3A for the first time.
