The Colorado high school softball playoffs were exciting as usual in 2021. Holy Family defeated D’Evelyn in the 4A final while Legend blanked Horizon in the 5A final. It’s always a fun 2-day tournament that’s filled with emotion.

2016 CHSAA 5A High School Softball Final
I photographed the semifinals and finals of the 2016 CHSAA 5A High School Softball tournament again this year. Â The final game was fantastic. Â Cherokee Trail defeated favorite Broomfield 1-0 in the final to take home the championship. Â Perhaps more than any other game I’ve covered, this game exemplified the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Â Cherokee Trail’s Chloe Knapp hit a go ahead home run in the top of the eight inning and Broomfield’s Lindsey Malkin missed a game-winning home run by a few feet to end the game. Â Most of Broomfield’s team was seniors so the loss stung especially hard.

2016 Erie Softball Tournament of Champions
I photographed the 2016 Erie High School Softball Tournament of Champions again this year. Â It’s a always a lot of fun as teams from around the state and even some from Oklahoma come to town to play softball. The tournament is usually a good gauge for what teams might do well when it comes time for the state tournament in October. Â I saw a number of good teams this year so we’ll see who gets hot at the end of the year.
