The Grant County Lady Braves softball team is off to a slow start.  
After all the rain and snow outs, the season is getting underway.  
The softball squad has played five games on the season and their record is 1-4.  The Lady Braves lost a hard fought contest on March 17 against Ryle by the score of 9-4.  
Alayna Barnes took the mound for the Braves allowing 10 hits and nine walks during the contest. She also had two strikeouts.  

The Williamstown Demons boy’s basketball team gave it all they had against Simon Kenton on Feb. 23, but came up on the short end of the score, losing 85-70 to the home team in the District 32 matchup.
It was a big turnaround from their previous meeting with the Pioneers where the Demons fell at home by a 23-point deficit.
WHS Coach Harden Roger heaped praise upon his young team for their tenacity.  “They have a never quit attitude,” he said. “We’ve instilled that in them all year long to never quit.”
