June 1, 2026 - Season Finale (Bentonville Softball - Life Way Christian Soccer)

Our maiden season comes to a close this week as we recap the year in high school sports, which saw twelve area teams win titles in the fall, six more in the winter and ten in the spring, along with a number of individual championship performances.We speak with Bentonville softball coach Kent Early, whose team shattered the team record for home runs during the regular season and used its pitching and defense to win its third consecutive state championship, tying the streak it set from 2016 to 2018 and moving into second overall with eight titles overall.We also visit with Life Way Christian soccer coach James Bowers, whose Lady Warriors successfully defended its 3A championship and will move up to Class 4A due to the competitive equity factor governing non-public schools.We will also present a quick preview of the upcoming fall season as we prepare to begin our second season August 3.
