State Softball Title Comes Home to Cathedral High School

The Cathedral High School softball team's magical season culminated in the best way possible – a state championship win.

In the IHSAA 3A State Softball Championship Game at Bittinger Stadium in West Lafayette, Ind., the Irish edged Hanover Central 5-4 to claim their first-ever state title.

“It’s an amazing feeling,” said Cathedral shortstop Anna Moore, who finished the game 2-of-3 with a double and 2 RBI. “We worked so hard all season, and it paid off.”

Irish pitcher Sydney Feczko dominated on the mound, pitching for 7 innings and allowing 4 hits, 4 earned runs while striking out 10 batters.

The win capped an impressive 2025 season for the Irish, who finished with a 29-2 overall record. Hanover Central ended their year with an 18-13 overall record.
