COLUMBUS - After the first day of the Class AAAAA state tournament, one Gwinnett County school is hoping to change history, while the other is hoping history repeats itself.

The former is Mill Creek, which finds itself in the winner's bracket final after Day 1 for the third straight season after beating Union Grove 8-1 and Greenbrier 1-0 on Friday at the rain-soaked South Commons Softball Complex.

The last two times haven't worked out so well for the Hawks (28-6), who have wound up losing their next two games each of the previous two seasons.

COLUMBUS - Mill Creek has one more climb to reach the summit at the Class AAAAA state softball tournament, but the Hawks conquered a major peak on Friday in the winner's bracket finals.

After bowing out in two straight games in the same position each of the last two seasons, Mill Creek finally fought its way into the championship round with a 1-0 victory over East Coweta at the South Commons Softball Complex.

The Hawks (29-6) will take on the winner of an elimination game between East Coweta and Cherokee with two chances to win one game for their first state title beginning this afternoon at 1.

COLUMBUS - A few extra steps on its path to what had been an elusive Class AAAAA state championship were not about to deter the Mill Creek softball team.

After seeing their first chance at the title evaporate with one out to get, the Hawks got back up and scored twice in the first extra inning, and then held on for a 3-2 victory over East Coweta on Saturday at the South Commons Softball Complex.

The title was particularly sweet for Mill Creek's (30-6) eight-member senior class, which had gone through near misses each of the last two seasons, with the Hawks finishing third each time.
