Make plans for Wewa’s softball parade … again

It’s regional softball time for area high schools and that can mean only one thing: Wewahitchka is geared for yet another run at the state Final Four. What’s more, the Gators will win a second Class 2A straight state championship this season.
I’m not going out on a limb here. Wewa is playing better and performing better than it did in last year’s magical run. Not even the best private school can stop the Gators.
The only team that can stop Wewa is itself.
The Gators are 22-2, losing only to Tallahassee Lincoln and a highly ranked team from Tennessee. Wewa has since avenged the loss to Lincoln.
Wewa opens against Tallahassee Maclay, which muddled through its district with a losing record. A potential fourth meeting awaits against Port St. Joe in the second round looms and Baker could be the favorite to be slaughtered in the regional championship.
Many past Wewa teams played well and were simply happy to advance to the Final Four, only to lose to a private power. Now the Gators are the powerful team and the rest of the state needs to take notice.
Unfortunately for the rest of the state, it may be too late, as Wewa will roll to another championship. Talk to anyone in the softball community and you’ll quickly learn this is no bold prediction.
The next Class 2A state champion will be crowned in Plant City on May 8. That team will be Wewa.
Get the parade ready.
