COULEE CITY – Congratulations to the Almira-Coulee-Hartline Warriors on ending the 2025 spring season in third place at the state tournament.
The Warriors had a solid foundation to build off of coming into this season and were working toward making another state tournament appearance following their second-place finish last season.
ACH started the season with a 10-game win streak and would finish off the season with an overall record of 19-4 and a league record of 12-0 in the Northeast 1B, placing them as number one in the conference as they made their way into district play.
The team displayed dominance over their opponents throughout the season, winning 15 of their 19 games with a score differential of 10 runs or higher.
One thing that could be seen following their victory over Naselle Saturday afternoon was the feeling of brotherhood that has been built on the team over the past few seasons. The players were visibly emotional as they had a moment together after the game to celebrate their victory among those whom they’ve grown to care about over the years.
The graduating seniors were the most moved by their victory that day as they both ended their season and their high school baseball careers that afternoon. To say that they were dedicated to the sport over the years might be an understatement, as for many of these players, baseball has become a huge part of their lives.
There is no doubt that there will be some big shoes to fill on the roster next year, but the excellent leadership shown by head coach Hunter Lee and the rest of the coaching staff will surely be capable of building up a young squad to be an elite contender once again.
