Enka won its second consecutive NCHSAA 3-A softball championship on Saturday in Greensboro.
Once again, Enka can lay claim to being not only a NCHSAA champion, but one of the state’s best softball teams in any classification.
The Sugar Jets (26-3) are second in the season’s final computer-generated North Carolina rankings from MaxPreps behind only NCHSAA 4-A champion West Forsyth (30-2).
The rankings cover all four NCHSAA classes.
Enka swept No. 3 C.B. Aycock (30-2) in the best-of-three 3-A state championship series which wrapped up Saturday at UNC Greensboro.
By doing so, the Sugar Jets became the first back-to-back NCHSAA championship softball team from Western North Carolina since Owen’s 2-A repeat in 1999 and 2000.
Other WNC teams in the final top-50 of the MaxPreps rankings are Pisgah (No. 24), Madison (No. 27) and Reynolds (No. 29).
