Jay Lady Royals Win 1A State Softball Championship

May 26, 2022

The Jay Lady Royals won the FHSAA 1A state softball championship Wednesday evening.

The Lady Royals beat Fort White 6-5 in Clermont, Florida. It was Jay’s fifth trip to the championship game in the past 10 years, and their first win in that decade.

Mattie Cochran was in the circle for Jay, giving up four runs and four hits in five innings while striking out two. Alayna Lowery threw two innings, allowing six hits and one run while striking out three.

Lowery had an over the wall home run in the fourth inning for Jay, her 14th for the season.

Lowery and Cochran led the Royals at the plate with two hits each. Ella Nelson, Brooklyn Sorrells, Kaylee Gilbreath and Bailey Lopez each added one hit.

The Lady Royals ended the season at 22-5 with 17 straight wins. And some really nice hardware for the trophy case.
