Hosting the Palisade Bulldogs Tuesday night at Taughenbaugh Field in Rifle, the Bears cruised to a 15-5 win over the Bulldogs, clinching yet another league championship under veteran head coach Troy Phillips.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t ask to coach a better group of girls,\u201d Phillips said after the win. \u201cThey exemplify what a team truly is in every way. Everyone pulls for everyone else and cares about each other. Our hitters have hit all the way through the lineup and our pitchers have thrown strikes all season. Our seniors are great leaders by example and really care for the younger players.\u201d<\/p>\n
