South Iredell's softball team may still reach the state playoffs this year. The Vikings play Lincolnton today at East Lincoln High School in a one-game play-in situation.
Whoever wins will likely get bounced in the opening round against the Rocky River Conference's No. 1 seed.
But regardless of whether or not South wins and makes the playoffs this year, this team has the feel of a future contender.
The Vikings honored only three seniors during Wednesday's Senior Day. That's it.
All three seniors are in the outfield, so that could present some personnel problems, but everyone else is back.
Amber Graney, who drove in the winning run against East Lincoln, and her sister Laci return. Kayla Kerley, who hit the home run that started the Viking comeback, is a sophomore.
And pitcher Kelsey Spangler, who tossed a no-hitter earlier this year, is a freshman.
It's really hard to tell what will happen in high school athletics, but that's an awful lot coming back for a program that appears to be on the brink of pushing into the upper-tier of the Southern Piedmont 1A-2A.
