Our softball team has been grinding, putting in the work day after day and waiting for it all to come together. Yesterday in Presque Isle, it did. Natalie Haulk delivered one of the most clutch hits you'll ever see, a grand slam to left center that flipped the game and sparked a come-from-behind victory over Presque Isle. The blast was part of a two home run, 8 RBI performance on the day, complemented by outstanding work behind the plate. Huge shoutout as well to Kylie Lawson and Meredith Walsh for their steady hands in the pitching circle, and to Anna Smith for a tremendous performance in center field. Great work, Crusaders! 💜🥎

Congratulations to Leah Harmon and Jessie Grant on punching their ticket to the MPA State Tennis Doubles Tournament! The Crusader junior-senior duo dominated at today's regional qualifier, taking down Ellsworth and Bangor before MDI forfeited in the semifinals. Two big wins and a state berth well earned. They'll join fellow Crusader Vivi Nemeth at states. Vivi earned an automatic bid in the singles bracket. We'll see you at Bates College in Lewiston! Go Crusaders! 💜🎾
