We (along with 3 other area teams) are in the midst of the 2A Sectionals/Area Playoff Tournament, starting last night & going on through tonight (& Sat, if needed).

Piedmont & White Plains were playing when we arrived. The winner of that game was to play the winner of ours. We played against Sand Rock & won that game pretty easily. Now, game 3 was against the 1st game winner - Piedmont, & the winner of the 2nd game - US! This game started a bit after 8pm & lasted until nearly 10! It started off pretty slow with no score, but soon we jumped to a 6-0 lead. The next inning, with a missed ball at 2nd, they scored 2 runs. We had one more missed ball that allowed them to get 2 more runs in as the bases were loaded. It's 6-4 & they have no outs! It was definitely a "nail biter" by then because one wrong move & the lead could be gone! Thankfully, we pulled it together & got the 3 outs we needed (with my Tay getting one of them).

This 2nd win put us up for the area title game to be played tonight! If When we win tonight, this will put us to where we will be hosting the first round Sub-State game to be played Tuesday night.

We are SO proud of our team! Back from 1994-2001 we were the State winners! It's been a loooong time & we are way overdue for this again. I think we just might have the team & "want to" to get to State again. We hope to be starting the trend over!
