Seniors go out with a Blast!

Tonight was Senior Night at GHS with the Girls Softball and Boys Baseball teams hosting non-conference opponents.

The Softball Seniors Kelly Singleton, Kortney Holliday, and Jessica LaTurner were honored before the game against Prairie Heights. The Seniors led the way! Kortney Holliday pitched 7 strong innings giving up two runs early in the game. Jessica LaTurner cranked a home run early in the game and Kelly Singleton iced the game with a two run shot in the bottom of the 6th inning.   Prairie Heights displayed stellar defense . The Lady Railroaders hit the ball hard but most of the time the Heights defense had some great plays to keep us off the base paths most of the night.. The girls are now 11-11.

A pick up game with Adams Central will be played tomorrow night at Adams Central.(5pm). Both the Lady Railroaders and the Lady Jets lost several games this year to rain-outs. So, both coaches are interested in playing games instead of practicing.  The Lady Railroaders also will host the Snider Lady Panthers this Saturday in the final regular season game before Sectionals. Sectionals start on Monday but the girls will not play until late Tuesday night against Fremont in the bye game. The game will start at approximately 7pm. The championship game will be played next Wednesday night at 7pm.  Good Luck Ladies in the tournament!


The Boys Seniors also gave a great effort tonight. After being down 2-0 early in the game. The Railroaders fought back to take a 3-2 lead on a James Weber Bomb in the 4th inning. They added another run and were in the lead 4-2 going into the top of the 7th. However, Hamilton had a little fight left in them and came back to take a 6-4 lead. In the bottom of the 7th Logan Lee hit is 2nd home run in less than a week and 2nd of his career to bring the game to 6-5. But, that was all the Railroaders could put on the board and lost by that score. Seniors Elliott Yarian, Logan Lee, and Tyler Barrientes were honored before the game.  Thanks guys for your dedication to Railroader Baseball. We are proud of you.

The Boys end their season on Saturday with the Garrett Invitational tournament. The Host Railroaders take on the Prairie Heights Panthers in a Preview of the first round of Sectionals. Then the Wayne Generals and the Heritage Patriots play in game #2. Losers play in game 3 at approximately 3pm, followed by the championship game at near 5:30.

The Boys Baseball Sectional will also be played at Garrett and the Railroaders will take on Prairie Heights on Thursday night in the opening round. Good Luck Guys! We have faith in you to win the tournament and Sectionals!
