Softball 2026: Lamar's 16-game run, three valley teams at state, and a hard year for the Wiley-McClave-Eads co-op

The 2026 high school softball season ended October 24 at Aurora Sports Park, where Lyons beat D'Evelyn 10-3 for the Class 3A title and Windsor beat Holy Family 6-2 in 4A. Three lower Arkansas Valley teams made the 16-team 3A field, Pueblo County reached the 4A semifinal, and the Southeast Colorado co-op of Wiley, McClave and Eads, a state semifinalist two years ago, missed the state field in its first season with McClave on the roster. Here is how the season went for each, from the Colorado High School Activities Association's scoreboards and brackets.
