Alexandria, AL – Alexandria honors its state-championship baseball, girls’ golf teams with trophy walk following academic awards.
Alexandria’s newly minted state championship baseball and girls’ golf teams will soon have a “ball on the wall” in Larry R. Ginn Gymnasium, but they they took their walk of champions Friday.
As Queen’s “We Are The Champions” played over the public address, the teams made their way around Ginn Gym before parents and classmates immediately following an academic awards ceremony.
The teams shared high-five and handshakes as they toured upper and lower levels, holding their “Blue Map” Alabama High School Athletic Association state champion’s trophies.
Both teams clinched their state titles Tuesday. The girls’ golf team won their Class 4A-5A state title on Florence’s RTJ-The Shoals course, winning by 11 strokes. The baseball team finished a best-of-3 series sweep of Mobile Christian, beating the Leopards 2-1 and 8-4 on Jacksonville State University’s Rudy Abbott Field.
Alexandria claimed its first state title in baseball and second in girls’ golf. Here are pictures and video from Friday’s champions’ walk:
