BROOMFIELD >> Holy Family catcher Makaila Moosbrugger trotted into third base after barreling up another ball on Saturday morning. She let out a scream for her dugout and pointed to the heavens.

The Class 4A No. 6 Tigers had plenty of reason to hoot and holler after becoming the second regional softball champion from the city following 5A No. 2 Broomfield’s the day before.

They combined to outscore teams 42-1 as hosts to start the postseason and now advance to their respective state tournament at Aurora Sports Park, which starts Friday.

“We show up every day to practice. We work hard,” said the senior Moosbrugger, who had four hits and five RBIs in Holy Family’s 13-1 regional final win over No. 11 Golden.

“Just going up and doing our thing will really help us going forward.”

Behind four-year ace Isabella Arroyo, the Tigers (19-6) won their region for a seventh straight time. The senior allowed one run while striking out 16 across two mercy-rule shortened wins.

Junior Giuliana Magnetti had two doubles and three RBIs against Eagle Valley, which the Tigers outhit 11-3 in a game decided in six innings.

She added two more doubles with another run driven in 24 hours later as the Tigers racked up 12 more hits against the Demons.

Moosbrugger drove in the walk-off run with one out in their half of the fourth inning.

“I felt like we left it all out there,” Moosbrugger said of her final game at Holy Family’s softball field.

A dominant showing for a program in pursuit of its first state title since 2021.

But there is this: Holy Family likely won’t be a top-three seed at the 4A tournament for the first time since it didn’t qualify for it in 2017.

No. 1 Lutheran, No. 2 Windsor, No. 3 Pueblo County and No. 5 Berthoud all won their regions and should be re-seeded ahead of the Tigers.

“It gives us more motivation,” Magnetti said. “It’s always fun being the underdog trying to prove everyone wrong.”

Speaking of proving CHSAA’s seedings wrong: Broomfield.The Eagles’ perfect regular-season record coupled with a win over No. 1 Cherokee Trail last week wasn’t enough to jump the Cougars for 5A’s top seed.

Not that it seems to be bothering them.

The Eagles moved to 25-0 on the year, beating No. 31 Vista Ridge, 12-0, in the first game at their regional, then No. 15 Eaglecrest, 7-0, in the final.

Junior Delaney Meehan threw a four-inning perfect game in Game 1. Junior ace Ireland Heer followed it up with her second straight shutout.

Elsewhere from the Boulder Valley School District, 3A No. 12 Peak to Peak’s regional tournament in Wiley was moved to Monday. The Pumas open against No. 21 Brush.
