An experienced team in No. 3 singles would get the other win as Fort Morgan won 4-3 in the Colorado 7 League opener on its home court. “I didn’t think at all that I had a shot”.

“I received a scholarship, the McCray scholarship to come to Millsaps, which is full tuition, room and board, everything”, Gillihan said. “I kind of wish we could have won a few more of those matches, but it was a good start”.

Colville tribal member Hannah Wapato of Lake Roosevelt beat Emily Meza of Omak in straight sets (6-3, 6-3) to get the win for the Lady Raiders. Republic won a district title previous year, and they had some depth.

Walters told STAR Sports in an interview that the 16-year-old Davis has demonstrated a lot of good qualities both on and off the track, therefore she could become the leader of the team next season.

“I’m practicing four times a week”, she said.

“I knew it’d be a lot tougher going into this season”, she said. Pittsfield got a run back in the bottom half on an RBI bunt single by J.D. Gresham. “They were moving today”.

On the court, Gillihan was one of the catalysts for the Pioneers’ run that ended in the Final Four of the overall tournament.

The Tigers have the top seed in mixed doubles with Enrique Ramirez and Kendra Smith, who are coming off a big first-place finish in the Waco Midway Tournament.

Madeleine Hyduke lost the one-seed match 3-6, 2-6.

Courtney Bates hit two solo home runs and Kylee Friend dazzled in the circle as the College Heights Christian softball team run-ruled Golden City in five innings Tuesday at the Joplin Athletic Complex. Most of their damage came on serves.

“Watching them run toward me after that last save”, Douthitt said.

“A year ago on the back line we had a real weakness where anybody could break through and Ariana pretty much sealed that up”, he added. “It would have been nice to win two, but we are looking forward to getting back out there on Wednesday”. “It sucks when you lose the last game of the season but our guys played hard and they fought and we got as much out of it as we possibly could have”. “We moved her up front and she showed us she could play there, too”. At top singles, Noah Ramirez defeated Nick Ward 8-0. The third-seeded team of Allyson Meek and Brooke Sutherland won their match 9-7.
