Paris Panthers Varsity Fastball Team claims 2023 A.A.B.H.N Championship title!
The PDHS Girls Fastball team took on BCI in the AABHN finals Tuesday and after a disappointing championship game last year, the team was determined not to suffer the same fate.
Both teams went into the game undefeated, ready to battle for the championship title and after seven hard-fought innings, Paris cruised to a 12-3 victory, thanks in part to some red-hot offense.
