    Amanda Goodrich pitched for the Lady Demons, striking out eight as Williamstown secured their first shutout of the season. Goodrich and Nicole Hendy drove in a run a piece for the win.

  • Power surge

    The Grant County softball team waited three weeks to restart their game against Walton-Verona.

    The wait was worth it as the Lady Braves’ bats came alive, leading to a 10-7 victory on May 4.

    “I told my players that it would be a slugfest,” coach Ott Reed said. “Whoever was hitting the hardest would win the game.”

    The game originally started on April 13, as the Lady Bearcats took a 2-0 lead after the top of the first inning. Rain delayed the game for three weeks before the two teams matched up again.

  • Grant County second grade girls...

    Going into the North Central Kentucky Conference tournament, Grant County’s second grade girls traveling team were looking to avenge their only loss of the regular season and dedicate a championship to the passionate fan and father they lost during the season.

    The girls did both as they defeated Walton-Verona 13-7 for the championship. The team dedicated their season to the memory of Jay “Big Daddy” McCoy, who passed away after their second game of the season. McCoy was the father of Kelcie McCoy, a player on the team.

  • Baseball Battle

    When the Grant County Braves and Williamstown Demons took to the field for their first matchup of the season, a pitching duel broke out.

    Dillon Pelfrey pitched for the Braves and helped his own cause at the plate, as the Braves won 4-1 on April 22.

    “We were shaky at first,” GCHS coach Justin Hollingsworth said. “Williamstown played a good ball game, but I told our players before the fifth inning that it was time to turn it on and that’s when we got some runs. A lot of times, the way Pelfrey goes is the way the team goes.”

  • Demons play with “new...

    A controversial call helped Walton-Verona in their game against Williamstown on April 23, but it might have ultimately helped inspire the Demons to play some of their best baseball as the regular season passed its midway point.

    The Demons held a two-run lead in the seventh inning when a Bearcat ran inside the base path to avoid a tag and was called safe by the umpire at first base, allowing the tying run to score. Demons coach Aaron Biddle stepped onto the playing field without calling time and was ejected. The Bearcats went on to win 5-3.

    The Williamstown High School softball team has endured their struggles at the plate this year.

    With one game, they’re hoping their troubles have gone away. The Lady Demons totaled 11 hits in an 8-2 win on April 23.

    “It was a big win,” coach T.J. West said. “Their coach told me that we probably hit the ball as hard as any team he’s faced. It’s a good thing. We’re coming around at the right moment I hope. They’ve got the mindset that they can hit.”
