Congratulations to Junior Shortstop Kira Bailey on an extraordinary season! With 76 stolen bases, Kira has etched her name atop the Gahanna record books and is now 3rd all-time in Single Season Stolen Bases in Ohio high school softball history. Her career total is 179 which ranks 5th All-time and 55 behind the All-Time leader Alexis Mack with 234!

Kira's speed is impressive, but it's her instincts, timing, and incredible IQ on the bases that truly sets her apart. Every time she gets on base, she creates pressure, chaos, and is an absolute game changer.

Adding to the accomplishment, Kira surpassed the previous school record of 75 held by her sister, Kirnan Bailey, who was one of this years top base stealers in college at the University of Dayton. (3rd in the NCAA)
Congratulations on a historic season and an amazing milestone! 📷📷📷📷 #RecordBreaker #GahannaSoftball @GLHS_Athletics @HelloKira2

Arguably the most feared 1/2 punch in the State! These two Beverly Bandit sisters have combined with their Gahanna Lion sisters to an impressive 23-5 record while being the leaders or amongst the leaders in most MaxPrep's hitting catagories in D1! In the Month of May,(7 games) Kira Bailey is 16/22 .727BA with 14 Runs scored and 29 Stolen Bases including 4 steals of home and Amira Evans has been equally impressive going 11/22 .500 with 3 2B, 2 HR, 14 runs scored, and 10 Stolen Bases. These two along with the other powerhouse Lion hitters will be looked upon heavily on Wednesday against Olentangy High School in the Regional Semi-Final! @GLHS_Athletics @BillConroy60534 @DemariniBandits @BevBandits2029 @Lewis09Bandits
