It was a tough weekend for the Worth County girls softball team as they played three tough opponents and won one of them. First, they hung with King City for a while, trailing by only two runs until the fourth inning in the King City Tournament. Then, King City scored a bunch of runs in the fourth to put the game away.
The Tigers recovered and took a 5-3 win over South Nodaway to take the third place trophy in the King City Tournament. Playing against a strong pitcher, they played their best game of the year to get the win. Payton Adwell and Claire Andrews both hit the ball well in that game.
In their third game in three days, the Tigers lost 21-1 to Jefferson in a game that almost anything that could have went wrong did go wrong. Claire Andrews was one of the few bright spots for the Tigers in the loss and continued to hit the ball hard. The Tigers lost catcher Quinci Schottel as she broke a finger in her throwing hand. With Victoria Moore also injured, the Tigers will use either Taylor Raymond or Katie Mullock at catcher.
Coach Dave Gilland said that he wasn't going to yell and scream following a lopsided loss. "We were actually trying too hard against Jefferson," he said. "We don't expect them to be perfect, just play hard and do the best they can." He said that Claire had earned a higher spot in the lineup with her strong hitting against some of the best pitching around.
