The 2025 North Central Activities Association’s spring season is now complete and the NCAA had just one of its 14 baseball and softball teams qualify for last week’s state tournaments in their respective classifications.

That lone NCAA team, however, was the Minneapolis Lady Lion softball team, which saw its season come to an end after the opening round of the Class 3A state tournament.

Mother Nature had her say in how the 2025 NCAA spring standings would look as she stepped in late in the season and caused some games, and doubleheaders, to be cancelled.

Overall, Southeast of Saline High School won both the 2025 baseball and softball regular season titles.
