Beggs Lady Demons Recap

Beggs Lady Demons Recap
By PATRICK FORD NEWS EDITOR,

The Beggs Lady Golden Demons softball team, under the leadership of Coach Danny Phillips, wrapped up their 2024 season with a solid 17-13 record, marking their first winning season in three years. It was a year filled with challenges, triumphs, and growth, as the team battled through the highs and lows of competition to emerge stronger.

The Lady Demons’ journey came to a close in the regional tournament, where they finished as runners-up. Their regional opener saw a tough 5-2 loss to Kansas, setting the stage for a dramatic comeback. With determination and grit, the Lady Demons bounced back the next day, storming to a 10-0 lead and securing a 10-4 victory over Kansas in a revenge match that showed their resilience.

Next up was a clash with Valliant, the hosting team and a strong contender from the formidable Silo and Tishomingo district. The Lady Demons knew they were up against a powerhouse, as Silo is widely known for having one of the best programs in high school softball. The game was a hard-fought battle from start to finish, with both teams locked in a close contest. Despite several opportunities, Beggs fell just short, losing 2-1 in a tight 7-inning game. Though the loss was tough, it only fueled the team’s hunger for more, knowing they were on the verge of a regional title.

Not only did the Lady Demons achieve a winning season, but they also competed fiercely against some of the best teams in the state. Two of their narrow losses – 4-3 and 3-2 – were against teams that are now headed to the State Championships. Additionally, six of their losses came against district teams still in the hunt for a championship.

The Lady Demons can walk away with their heads held high, especially the seniors, who played a key role in laying the foundation for the future of Beggs softball.

A social media post stated, “Iron sharpens iron,” and the experience of battling top-level competition will only make the Lady Demons stronger. With the determination and growth they’ve shown this year, Beggs is poised to make waves in Class 3A next season.

Look out, 2025 – here come the Lady Demons!
