The Walpole High School softball team celebrated a historic achievement on February 10, 2025, as they proudly unveiled their Division 2 championship banner—the first state title in Walpole High School history.
Their championship run culminated on June 15, 2024 at UMass Amherst’s softball field, when they defeated Westfield High School 1-0 in a thrilling state Division 2 final.
The road to victory was no easy feat, as the team battled through four intense playoff games in June, not allowing a single run across all five games—a testament to their resilience and determination. Led by senior captains Ari Kreuzer and Susie McAdams, along with veteran head coach Rachel Sprague, the team dominated the season with an impressive 22-1 record, solidifying their status as the best in the state in Division 2.
To honor their incredible accomplishment, Conrad’s Walpole generously hosted a championship party, providing the perfect setting for the team to celebrate their unforgettable season. The highlight of the night came as the players received their well-earned championship rings, a symbol of their hard work and perseverance. Adding to the excitement, each team member was gifted a beautifully designed sweatshirt created by Embroidery Proud, allowing them to wear their championship pride with style.
The event was a heartfelt tribute to a team that made history, leaving a lasting legacy in Walpole High School athletics. As the celebration ended, the excitement continued, with the 2025 season set to begin in just a few weeks. With many players returning, the team is eager to build on their success and make another run at the championship.
