The Burgin Bulldogs softball team finished the 2026 season with a 6-16 record and lost to the Mercer County Titans in the first round of the 46th District tournament.
This was the fourth season under Head Coach Russel Jenkins, and he was proud of how his team finished the year, acknowledging that they had a slow start.
“There was a point early in the season where I wondered if we’d get any wins at all. We ended up with six wins, one more than last year. So I was pleased with how we closed the season,” said Coach Jenkins.
