At the beginning of the year, reaching the state tournament in Sulphur was a dream for a young Calvin softball team. But after winning the District Championship (Undefeated) and rolling to a 17-4 regular season record and fighting their way through the playoff round, this group of “never-say-die” girls is headed to the state tournament in Sulphur. Merely getting there is no longer the goal.

The WSHS boy’s baseball team brought home the district championship this past week, taking 2 out of 3 wins against their rival, many tigers who were sitting in the #3 spot in the state rankings. In the first matchup this past Tuesday playing at home, Winnfield, ranked #7 in the state, defeated many in a thrilling victory 2-0. It was a great pitching duel with both pitchers from Winnfield and many only allowing 3 hits a piece, but Winnfield made their hits count getting the base runners across home plate lifting the Winnfield tigers for that first needed victory in the 3 game series and upsetting many. The boys then traveled to many on Thursday to finish the series and play a double header. The stands were filled with tiger fans from many and Winnfield knowing one of the tiger teams was going to walk away with the championship. It was a beautiful day for baseball with sunny skies and a little crisp feeling in the air.

The WSHS baseball team made a sweep against Lakeview during their series this past week in district play, Winnfield the first game after three innings of play, 10 – 1. The boys played the doubleheader at home, winning the first game 6 – 1 and closing out the series by winning in a landslide after five innings of play. 12 – 2.

The boys will finish out their regular season this week, facing off against the Many High School Tigers for the District Championship. Both teams are sitting at 6 – 0 in district play. Many has been ranked #1 in the state most of the season but is not sitting at the #2 spot. Winnfield is #7 in the state, and 17 – 9 overall.

After the Winnfield Senior High School Baseball seven game winning streak was snapped in a 2 – 3 loss to Cedar Creek High School, and falling to North DeSoto High School, the boys rallied back to defeat a strong 4 – A Buckeye High School team with a score of 3 – 1.

The boys were then defeated by Loyola Prep, who is ranked 10th in the state in Division 2 for private schools, with a score of 1 – 3.

The Tigers started district play with a sweep of Red River High School with three games, none of which went past the 5th inning. The first game was played at home and was halted as the Tigers were coming up to bat in the bottom of the 4th inning. The Tigers had a 10 – 0 lead, when the game was stopped due to bad weather. The Red River coach conceded defeat so the game could count, as it was only in the 4th inning.

After losing several key players and their head coach off last year’s state qualifying softball team, most people considered this a rebuilding year for the Lady Cougars. The list of doubters did not include the team. With no player beyond the 10th grade, the girl’s young softball team is currently ranked #1 in the state Class C division with a 13–3 record.

Last week’s brutal schedule is an illustration of the team courage and work ethic coaches day delineates this squad. Six games in five days against highly ranked teams from various classifications (every opponent in the top ten of their division) proved the caliber of this squad and moved them up in the rankings.
