WHEREAS, the 31st edition of the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) Class 3A Slow-Pitch Softball Championships were concluded on October 20, 2018, at Freedom Ridge Park in Ridgeland, Mississippi.

Hallie Billie and Tori Henderson took the reigns and made sure everyone stayed grounded and focused; and
WHEREAS, each player on the roster has had the experience of winning at the State Championship level since 2012. However, the players stated that the thrill of winning never subsides and for Seniors Tori Henderson and Hallie Billie, this title was unique; and
