It has been a good fall sports season for Jefferson City area high school teams. I mean, really, really good.

SPRINGFIELD — The Fatima Lady Comets came back from a nine-run deficit to win last year’s state championship. So when they faced a two-run deficit against the St. Francis Borgia Lady Knights, the Lady Comets acted like they had been there before and handled it like a walk in the park. Fatima only trailed for a few minutes Friday, scoring 12 unanswered runs and cruising to a 12-2 victory in five innings to claim its second straight Class 3 state title at Killian Softball Complex.

Here are capsule looks at Fatima, Oak Grove, St. Francis Borgia and Winfield, who are competing in the Class 3 softball Final Four in Springfield.

The reigning Class 3 state champion Fatima Lady Comets enter the Final Four, which begins at 11 a.m. today with a matchup against the fifth-ranked Oak Grove Panthers at Killian Softball Complex in Springfield, as the hunted team. The top-ranked Lady Comets have known they are the team to beat all season, but it has shown no sign of slowing them down.

If the Fatima Lady Comets have shown anything this season, it’s they are capable of finding power hitting anywhere in their lineup, Nos. 1-9. It was Kristen Robertson’s time to shine Tuesday night. The junior third baseman drove the first pitch she saw in the bottom of the fourth inning over the left-field fence for a three-run home run. That blast was the difference in a 4-1 victory against the Blair Oaks Lady Falcons in the Class 3 District 5 Tournament championship game at Southern Boone High School.
