During his time coaching the Grant County High School softball team, Ott Reed had never lead a team to a win against Lexington Catholic.

That changed on April 8 after the Lady Braves defeated Lexington Catholic 12-3.

“It’s a special win for this team,” Reed said. “But they came in flat. My players put the finger on them in the first inning and would not let up. The hitting is special on this team.”

The Lady Braves scored in the first inning when Morgan McClure ripped a triple to score three runs.

The Williamstown High School baseball team set a goal of advancing past the first round of the regional All “A” tournament.

They made that goal a reality with a 4-1 win over Eminence on April 9.

“I think we went in overly confident and got surprised a little bit,” coach Aaron Biddle said. “But it was a good team win. We need to keep winning and we want to beat some teams we’re not supposed to beat. That’s what we’re going to continue to work on, but we’re having fun and that’s the most important thing.”

The Grant County High School baseball team tried to get a win for Dillon Pelfrey when he took the mound.

In his previous two starts, Pelfrey was dealt two losses, as the team struggled to score runs.

Against Simon Kenton, Pelfrey ended up scoring the winning run as the Braves defeated the Pioneers 4-3 on April 9.

The Williamstown baseball team was fresh off their dominant win over Bracken County as they entered this week.

Unfortunately for the Demons, they lost games to Owen County, district opponent Simon Kenton and Pendleton County.

The Demons lost 3-2 to Owen County on March 31, despite holding a lead for six innings.

Josh Asher helped the Demons get on the scoreboard first as he laid down a squeeze bunt that scored Patrick Spoonamore from third base. Kevin McCullough, Isaac Alger and Spoonamore helped hold Owen County scoreless until the seventh inning.
