A well played ballgame by both teams. Coach McCool and her staff have done a nice job of building a softball program at JC. It is nice to see another district putting emphasis on fast-pitch softball. For years, it seemed only Pike County schools were enthusiastic about the sport. Shelby Valley's players simply need to focus on the offensive side of the ball. They had something like 20 hits over the past two ballgames. Their catcher, #14 Gina Hall hit one to the ticket booth located in East Ridge's parking lot...according to an ER parent...it is 222' to straight away centerfield fence...:Cheerlead Her homerun passed 8-10' over the fence... If both teams bring their A-game, this should be a great championship game...
