Class 1A Region 7 holds three ranked softball teams
North Linn, Lansing Kee and Edgewood-Colesburg headline a loaded postseason bracket
Katelyn Thomann delivered the walk-off hit for Highland against Louisa-Muscatine on June 26, 2026, a moment that still echoes for the kids who lived it.
According to The Gazette, Region 7 stands out in Class 1A as one of only two regions with three ranked teams: No. 6 North Linn, No. 13 Lansing Kee and No. 15 Edgewood-Colesburg.
For Cedar Rapids and Linn County fans, that means local squads will face the kind of pressure that builds character long after the final out.
The Gazette noted the strength of the region in its preview of upcoming 2A and 1A regional-quarterfinal matchups.
