MUNCIE, Ind. — Yorktown softball coach Jeff Berger very well could have added to his collection of championships this year, had COVID-19 not caused the cancellation of the Tigers’ season.

Berger, who’s been a head coach at Cowan (2009-13) in addition to Yorktown (2015-present), was set to lead a team that returned the majority of its starters from its 2019 state runner-up squad. And by season’s end, Berger might have been able to celebrate a sixth sectional, fourth regional, second semi-state and first state championship as a head coach. But for those moments and more, he’ll have to wait for a 2021 season for which he’s as confident in his team’s chances as he was ahead of 2020.
