Tigers Fall to Third in GRC West Softball Power Rankings

Worth County’s 3-0 loss to Albany dropped it to third in the new GRC West power rankings released Sunday by Jeremy Benson. All records are as of Sunday evening and do not include games played Monday or Tuesday.

Albany was ranked first with a record of 9-1. Besides their game with Worth County, they beat East Harrison 10-0.

Princeton moved up from fourth to second. They beat Mercer 21-2 and North Harrison 15-0 and are now at 9-3. But they have a brutal schedule coming up with games on four straight nights starting Monday, along with a tournament on Saturday.

Rainouts wreaked havoc on many teams this week and Worth County only got one game in, their loss to Albany. They fell to third in the rankings. They were leading Pattonsburg 5-0 before that game was suspended by rain. They are now 8-3.

Two losses by Stanberry dropped them to fourth. They lost 5-4 to powerhouse North Platte, beat North Andrew 14-1, but lost to King City 13-5 to diminish their chances of winning a GRC West title. They are now 6-5.

Pattonsburg split their games with Maysville and King City, losing to Maysville 11-8 and beating King City 13-9. They are now 5-8.

King City rose from seventh to sixth after winning two out of their three games. They beat East Buchanan 15-0, lost to Pattonsburg 13-9, but then beat Stanberry 13-5 to improve to 5-8. They have now scored 54 runs in their last four games and have won three out of four since losing to Worth County in their home tournament.

A 12-1 loss to Gilman City and a 15-0 loss to Princeton dropped North Harrison to seventh. That dropped them to 3-5.

North Andrew finally got on the winning track with an 11-1 win over Northeast Nodaway, but promptly fell 14-1 to Stanberry. Their record is now 3-11.
