There were a number of great stories for the District XI<\/a> spring tournament champions this year!<\/p>\n

The Central Catholic<\/a> lacrosse team became the first Lehigh Valley team ever to reach the semifinal round of the PIAA<\/a> state playoffs…then went two steps further and brought home the school’s second state title so far here in 2021.<\/p>\n

After many years of reaching both the league and district finals but failing to win any titles, the Easton<\/a> girls lacrosse team finally got over the hump and captured the first league and district championships in school history.<\/p>\n

In softball, Northampton<\/a> and Whitehall<\/a> — two teams that have long histories of successes but haven\u2019t won a title in the last few years — met for the 6A District XI championship.<\/p>\n

I had an opportunity to take in the game and it was one of the most competitive finals I ever saw!<\/p>\n

After trading one-run leads early, Northampton built a three-run lead late, before Whitehall stormed back to tie the game in the top of the seventh inning.\u00a0 The K-Kids responded in the bottom of the seventh with a timely hit to capture the title.
