A year ago, the St. Bede Lady Bruins took the No. 1 seed into the Princeton Regional and didn’t make it out. This year’s senior class would like to make amends.

The Lady Bruins will once again take the top seed into the postseason as the team to beat at the Hall 2A Regional. They are joined there by No. 2 Ottawa Marquette, No. 3 Princeton, No. 4 Hall and No. 5 Bureau Valley.

“Last year was definitely really hard. If we go out and win regional this year, it would kinda erase the memory of last year,” St. Bede senior standout Mo Dean said. “(Last year) is on my mind a lot. If we got a chance to redeem ourselves, I’d definitely feel a lot better.”
