Bucktail softball falls to rival Montgomery on road, as six-game win streak ends

MONTGOMERY—A shoulder injury may have helped Zoe Furman become an elite center fielder. Store it in the strange but true files. Before requiring surgery during her sophomore season, Furman primarily caught as a Montgomery freshman and played shortstop growing up. Unable to catch anymore, Furman moved to center field a year ago. And it's not a stretch to say she plays it as well as any Red Raider ever has. Bucktail likely will concur. Furman put on a defensive show, saving multiple runs with two spectacular running catches near the fence, while throwing another runner out at second. ...

Henry Huber on softball: BEA handled key departures with grace

When gauging a team’s chances of success heading into a season, key departures often stand at the top of the list of determining factors. Not much is predictable in high school sports. But if a team parts ways with half its roster, chances are, it’s due for a step back. For Bald Eagle softball, what it had to adjust to heading into the 2026 campaign was abundantly clear. In losing its 2025 class after last year’s PIAA Class AAA championship appearance, it lost much of the identity it had built for years, from its historic pitcher-catcher tandem to an outfield harboring 11 ...
