In a dramatic conclusion to the 2025 LHSAA Division II Non-Select State Championship game, the North DeSoto Lady Griffins captured the state title in walk-off fashion with a 6–5 victory over Assumption High School on Sunday.

The game began with North DeSoto striking first. A sacrifice fly to left field by Carsyn Curtis allowed Sasha Falls to tag up and score, giving the Lady Griffins an early 1–0 lead. However, Assumption responded quickly with an offensive outburst in the second inning, scoring five runs to take a commanding 5–1 lead.

Despite the early setback, the Lady Griffins refused to fold. They answered with two runs of their own in the bottom of the second, narrowing the gap to 5–3 and keeping their championship hopes alive.

By the time the seventh inning arrived, North DeSoto trailed by just one run. Curtis once again played a pivotal role, hitting a grounder to shortstop. Although Assumption managed the force out at second, Falls scored from third to tie the game at 5–5.

With two outs and two runners on, Kinsley Coleman laid down a perfectly executed bunt, bringing home Maddy Stringer for the game-winning run. The walk-off sealed a thrilling comeback and delivered the Lady Griffins their latest state championship.

This win marks another remarkable chapter for the North DeSoto softball program, highlighting their resilience, teamwork, and ability to perform under pressure.

Congratulations to the Lady Griffins on their 2025 LHSAA state title victory.
