The Lady Indians put together a .500 season last fall, complete with a third straight playoff run. Slugger Carley Funderburke enters her final campaign for Stephens, and looks to cap it off with a deeper run.

Head Coach: Savannah Canady (2nd Season)
2025 Record: 14-14; Region 4th; State RND 1

“Every practice, every play, and every pitch, we challenge ourselves with one question: ‘How are we going to dominate the diamond today and grow from yesterday?’, says Canady. “That mindset has driven our preparation and will continue to define who we are throughout the season. We are excited to see this team’s hard work translate into success on the field.”
