OXFORD – Despite a gutsy effort, Geneva's softball team came up short of a state title Friday at Oxford’s Choccolocco Park.
After a dismal showing in a late Thursday loss to Curry, the Panthers battled back with an 8-3 win over defending state champion North Jackson Friday to reach the finals and then gave No. 1-ranked Curry a battle before falling 2-1 in the Class 4A championship game.

We were going to have our best defense, have our best at-bats and have out best pitching going and they did that.” Geneva took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the second. Griffin singled to start the inning and Lamb followed with a sacrifice bunt that was thrown away by Curry’s third baseman, putting runners at first and second with nobody out. Erin Curry sacrificed both runners up a base and Griffin scored on a high wild pitch for a 1-0 Panther lead.
Curry tied the game up in between in the bottom of the fourth. Kylee Trotter walked to start the inning and was sacrificed to second on a bunt before scoring on Jenna Madison’s single to right-center. After a RBI double by North Jackson’s Bailey Abernathy gave the Chiefs a 1-0 lead in the first, the Panthers answered with two runs in the bottom half.
