YORKTOWN, Ind. — Skyler Davis remembers the sick feeling in her stomach.

It was May 29, 2018. Yorktown had just played Bellmont in a Class 3A regional championship game, controlled most of it and yet still lost because of one bad inning. After the game, heartbroken, the Tigers watched their opponents celebrate. Davis, then a junior, watched her senior teammates’ eyes well up with tears.

The anguish fueled her in 2019. It fueled all her Yorktown teammates. They talked all season about not going through that again, not experiencing the pain of a season’s premature end.
