State Championship - Who has been to one for themselves or their kids?

Let me caveat. My daughter (sophomore) was not Varsity, but played on the Varsity team for 5 games and the tourney. She is still just JV.

Further Caveat: State Championship run: She only played in the District and Sectional and just pinch ran in the Quarterfinals and didn't play at all in the State game against Jeff City.

But nonetheless we were a small part of the State Champion Liberty Blue Jays softball team. We had the banquet tonight and I must say that this is an amazing feeling. I went to a rinky dink Catholic high school that did well in Math Competition and the local High School quiz shows, but we were poster children for geeks when it came to sports. We were hammered time and time again in everything from baseball to football, volleyball, basketball, etc. We tried to get revenge in golf, but no other school even had a team; therefore, we were just an eternal practice squad.

Anyway, this is Liberty's first softball championship after 5 attempts. We lost only one game all season, had 5 shutouts, 3 no-hitters, and only a single loss to Blue Springs South by a lousy run. The JV team won district as well. What a rush for us, our family, and my kid. I am beaming with pride.

Which of you guys have participated in a state championship or had your kids do so?
