CLEVELAND, Tenn. — The Bradley Central Bears' 2025 baseball season concluded with a narrow 1-0 loss to the Siegel Stars on Friday, May 16, at the McKenzie Baseball Complex. This defeat in the TSSAA Class 4A Sectional series dashed the Bears' hopes of returning to the state tournament.

The game began promisingly for the Bears, with seniors Jaxon Humble and Spane Bristol hitting back-to-back singles. However, the inning ended without a run as Siegel's defense held firm. Bradley's offense continued to struggle, unable to capitalize on multiple scoring opportunities throughout the game.

The Bears' season ends with a commendable record, including a Region 3 championship victory over rival Cleveland High School.  While the conclusion was disappointing, the team's performance throughout the season showcased their resilience and talent.

As the team looks ahead, the experience gained this season will serve as a foundation for future success. The Bears aim to build upon this year's achievements and return stronger in the next campaign.
