Defense wins championships.
@ECIndiansSB needed two standout plays to barely hold off Buford in the seventh inning of a 4-3 victory in the Class 6A state championship, getting a tag at home plate for the second out on a throw from SS @MadisonDuffel00 to C @AddieJoiner, preventing the tying run from scoring.
With the outfield drawn in and the potential tying and winning runs still aboard, CF @katemiller2026 needed no less than 20 steps to chase down a fly to left-center for the final out.
STATE CHAMPIONS! @ECIndiansSB

Winner's Bracket Final
FINAL SCORE
East Coweta 3, Mill Creek 1
Lady Indians hold off a stingy Mill Creek lineup to earn the program's fifth consecutive trip to the state finals. Unbeaten East Coweta (36-0) needs one more win while looking for the program's fourth crown since 2017 and first since 2020. 3 consecutive runner-up finishes from 2021-2023 in 7A.
@ECIndiansSB will face a familiar opponent in the finals. Buford and Mill Creek play at 11 a.m. to determine an opponent in the 1 p.m. championship. A second game follows at 3, if necessary.
Seniors @MadisonDuffel00 and @MadisynWeathers hit solo homers in the 1st to put East Coweta ahead 2-0.
Bases loaded HBP to @2026Jada plated a third run in the third.
Mill Creek got one back on a throwing error in the fourth and had multiple runners on base in the 7th with two outs before a final flyout ended the game.
