The Deltona High School Lady Wolves won their first Softball State Championship. This is the first state championship won in Deltona High School history and the first softball team in Volusia County to pull off a State title. Coach Ingram and Coach Ramer led the girls to a 6-3 victory over Lake Wales High School in the Friday evening State Championship. Coach Ingram has been a teacher for Deltona High for 21 years and the head coach for 18 years. She has seen the playoffs 17 times. Within her tenure, the Wolves have been district runners-up 4 times, district champions 12 times, in the sweet-16 -7 times and now Regional Final Champions and State Champions. During this season, Coach Ingram also received her 300th win and boasts a record of 306-105-1.
The team continued to outperform their ranking within each post-season game. The dynamic team is comprised of 5 seniors 4 of which are going to college on an athletic scholarship to play softball. As a team, their batting average was .369, with Veronica Puckett and Sophie Strempel leading the pack with .526 & .519 batting averages. Katie McCaw, starting pitcher, had 191 strikeouts. Kaitlyn Sarvis has varsity lettered all four years and is the Class of 2022's Valedictorian.
These student-athletes truly exemplify Champions of Character. They know and do the right thing inside and outside of the athletic setting. They embody the values in high school athletics. The softball parents are extremely dedicated to our student-athletes as well, putting in countless hours to support the girls. The City of Deltona is proud of the Lady Wolves Softball team and all that they have accomplished this season.
