    Programs that are brand new or still fresh have adjustments to make in order to be successful.

    “I was hoping to see better matches today, but we are still improving and are a very young team,” Williamstown coach Sean Binder said.

    Lady Demons senior Amanda Wilson lost her singles match with Lady Pioneer Katie French 8-4.

  • Goe has it going

    Former Major League pitcher Bob Veale once said, “Good pitching beats good hitting and vice versa.”

    For Grant County senior pitcher Aaron Goe, he was able to take care of both as he almost single-handedly beat Lloyd Memorial 5-1 March 26 at Grant County High School.

    “I thought my command was good and my off-speed pitches were helping me,” Goe said after the game. “The defense behind me really helped too.”

    Goe pitched a complete game (seven innings), only allowing one run and striking out 12 Juggernauts.

    It just happened by chance that Roman Jaconette signed his national letter of intent to play soccer for Asbury University March 21 at Grant County High School.
