Gibbs Softball wins back-to-back state titles
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WATE) — It was a duel of the defense for Gibbs and DeKalb. The game went 10 innings until the Eagles finally broke through to win the Class 3A Championship 1-0. The battle showcased a level of resiliency that the Eagles have built up throughout the entire season. 'I think we just needed to be patient,' said Gibbs Softball head coach Carol Mitchell. 'I think we got better throughout the game with their pitcher. We knew that she moved the ball around a lot. First couple of innings were a little rough, and then we started hitting her a little better and putting a little bit together, and we just kept inching forward.' Jake Dawson takes charge of Clinton football as one of state's youngest coaches DeKalb threatened in the top of the tenth with a runner on third. Gibbs' Malyiah Smith made a diving play to keep DeKalb off the board. 'She's that kind of player,' Mitchell explained. 'That's what she does. She's special.' In the bottom of the frame, senior pitcher Lacey Keck, who pitched all 10 shutout innings, delivered the walk-off hit. 'I was trying to get my runner to come back and tag because it landed right in front of the girl, and I thought she was going to try to catch it, but she didn't,' Mitchell said. 'My runner, she adjusted and made it home.' Football & fireworks: The staples of Anderson County fall Friday nights 'I was a little nervous,' said Gibbs Softball senior Lacey Keck. 'I couldn't really tell where it was. If it was down. I don't even think I saw it when I hit. I'm glad my team was at second and third, so that I could get them in.' Keck and Smith were two of the Eagles' four seniors. Mitchell mentioned that the group of seniors has been the team's go-to all year. Gibbs' back-to-back 3A state titles puts the program's all-time tally at 12.. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

NCIS: Origins Finale: Gibbs' future, Lala's car crash cliffhanger and new characters teased for season 2
The first season of NCIS: Origins wrapped with a dramatic finale that placed Cecilia "Lala" Dominguez's future in jeopardy after a devastating car crash. In the closing moments, Lala swerves to avoid a child and suffers severe injuries, leaving fans questioning whether she will survive to appear in the confirmed second season. Showrunners David J. North and Gina Lucita Monreal revealed that the crash was always intended to be a major plot point, aiming to portray how life can change in an instant. "We wanted to tell stories that seem honest and true," North explained. Monreal added, "We were always pretty set on an accident," clarifying that the scene was designed to emphasise chance over crime-related violence. The finale also brought an emotional shift for Gibbs, played by Austin Stowell, who finally confronts the consequences of killing Pedro, the man responsible for his family's deaths. Writers considered multiple versions of whether Gibbs would keep his secret but ultimately chose transparency, adding depth to his character's moral code. Gibbs' growing bond with Lala was highlighted throughout the episode, although the pair stopped short of kissing, remaining faithful to Gibbs' sense of honour. Producers teased more storylines for season 2, including a deeper exploration into Mike Franks' relationship with his brother, a new addition yet to be cast. Fans also got an early glimpse at Diane, Gibbs' future wife, ensuring the series continues to align closely with NCIS canon. As North and Monreal confirmed, NCIS: Origins season 2 promises "big swings" and fresh twists, with the fate of key characters still hanging in the balance.
