Lake County Schools Honor Eustis High Softball State Championship Team
The Eustis High School girls FHSAA Class 4A State Championship winning softball team was honored by Lake County Schools for the amazing run they had this season! The coaching staff along with members of the team were invited to the Lake County Schools board meeting on Monday evening.
Eustis High School went on an incredible run during the 2024 season finishing with a 26-2 record and winning the state championship in dramatic fashion against Baker County 1-0 back on May 23rd.
This was the second state championship won at the school by head coach Brittany Beall. She and her amazing group of coaches and talented players proved they were a top contender all season long. The girls played so well and represented Lake County with pride.
Congratulations to everyone who was a part of this amazing season. We wish all the players the best of luck on their future plans and for the players who are returning next year we can’t wait to see Eustis softball hit the field once more!
