Petersburg defeated Logan, 6-5, in Friday's Class AA final at Little Creek Park in South Charleston, W.Va., to capture the program's first state softball championship.
The Vikings (28-5) had qualified for the last nine state tournaments and finished runner-up in four of the last six, but finally secured the title they had been pursuing. The victory marked a historic milestone for the program.
"A long time coming, it's been 40 years since a state championship," a representative said following the win.
The championship represents the culmination of years of competitive appearances for Petersburg, which had repeatedly come close without breaking through until this season.
