Very unfortunate that we have spring break right when Spring Season starts so we got a lot to get through.

 

Starting off with baseball who went 2-3 in the break, with wins over Lakota West and Fenwick, Noah Prewitt currently leads the team in innings pitched with 11, and Strikeouts with 15, Noah also leads the team in batting average, minimum 10 at bats, slashing .286. The boys have the home opener against Northwest, tonight at 5.

 

Lets move over to Softball who went 2-4 over the break, wins over Waynesville and Arcanum, Kylie Cobb leads the team in average hitting .526 in 19 at bats, while also throwing the most inning with 18 1/3. Grace Richardson leads the team in RBIs with 11 after an inside the park grand slam on the windy Saturday. The ladies will battle Northwest on the road later today.

 

Boys Tennis will open up their season at Badin after school today, after that they will play 4 straight days throughout the week.

 

Lacrosse is lacrosseing right now, over the break Tyler Hazelwood got a hat trick and Jacob Berger got his first goal, they are still looking for win number one, so they’ll head to Beavercreek tonight.

 

Lots of track happened and I can’t cover it all so here’s some rapid fired notes, Girls placed 2nd in Edgewood Invitational, Logan Howard finished 4th in the 100, Olivia Andrews placed 1st in pole vault, Gracie Bower 1st in Long jump, 2nd in the 100 hurdles. Going back one more week to Harrison, Girls 4×200 placed 1st, Julio Fuentes finished 1st in 300 Hurdles, Logan Howard 2nd in to 100, and Haley O’Brien took 1st in high jump.
