The Boys got 2nd at Central Noble Invitational tonight. Todd Frickey once again led the team with 1st place finishes in the 100 and 400. He also placed 5th in the 200, and ran on the 2nd place 4x100 relay team. Christian Miller, Jamarius Mitchell, and Desmond Kessler were the other team members. Drake Landes got 2nd in the long Jump, RObert Deventer got 2nd in Discus. Coach Clifford said he is proud of his guys and they are peaking at the right time.
I didn't get specific results from the Girls at New Haven. But the team placed 7th. We didn't have a great night and our best place was 3rd.
Both teams compete at home vs. Southern Wells and Woodlan on Tuesday night.
Although you might have already heard, the Golfers tied last night vs Fremont and defeated Prairie Heights. In Golf, the first highest 4 scores are counted to the team total. Then the 5th golfer is used to break the tie. Well, the score was tied through 4 golfers and the fifth golfers for each team were also tied. Because it was a non-conference match, no tie breaker was played. The Golfers head to Auburn tomorrow to participate in the Baron Classic Golf tournament at Bridgewater. Good Luck to the Team and Coach Kleeman!

ACAC Split
The Softball team fell to Adams Central tonight in their 3rd ACAC game of the season. The final score was 6-2. The game was close early. Then the Railroaders couldn't fight their way back after a bad 5th inning.
Coach Bishop's comments: The game was pretty well played overall
The Baseball team had an impressive night defeating Adams Central 11-1 in 5 innings. Kylan LaMotte had a complete game. He worked through Adams Central's line-up forcing the Jets to leave runners stranded on 3rd base on several occasions. The Railroader bats came to life tonight. We put the ball in play nearly every inning. We even hit the umpire with a shot up the middle early in the game. The game was a great effort.
Thanks to all the fans who came out tonight in less than spectacular weather conditions. But, we were able to get the conference games in which is so important this time of year. Thanks to John Bennett, Coach Bishop, and Coach Andrews for their hard work getting the softball diamond ready to play. Thanks to John, Coach Mireles, and the baseball team for getting the Baseball field ready to play.
As far as I'm concerned we have officially had enough rain!
Coach Bishop's comments: The game was pretty well played overall
but both teams did commit and error which lead to an unearned run for each
team. We are not hitting the ball in key situations and were not going to win many
getting 4 hits a game and stranding runners. Adams Central had a big 5th inning
getting 4 runs on 5 hits including 2 doubles and a triple finding the gaps. Our bunt
coverage needs to improve along with the players reading the game themselves
and thats in part to our lack of expierence. We need to regroup a little and start
playing to our capabilities and everything would fall in place.

Close!
It seems like all of our athletic events were exciting tonight. I just go the update from Softball and Garrett scored 1 run in the first inning. That's all they needed to defeat Leo 1-0 in a big ACAC matchup. There weren't many highlights except the final score. Jessica LaTurner and Katie DePew were both 2 for 3. Really, Leo's pitcher dominated most of the game with 10 strike outs. But Kourtney Holliday had just enough to keep the Lady Lions off the scoreboard. Good Job Lady Railroaders!
The Boys and Girls track team both defeated Heritage in the first home track meet of the year. The night was full of close races. I love track. It is just as exciting, or more, than a close football game or an overtime, last second shot in Basketball. The relays were "Photo Finishes" every time. The problem is we don't use cameras for dual meets. So we have to call the races by Eye. That is so intense. Jaron Sommers had a great night running the 3200 relay, 1600m, 800m, and the 3200m run. That is the toughest 4 events anyone could run. Jaron won all but the relay. What a workout. Jordyn Knott continued her track domination. Laura Moynahan had a great night in Shot and Discus. There were so many other great performances, I can't include them all. Maybe the finest performance was in the 1600m relay at the end of the night. Todd Frickey was the anchor and he had a huge margin to try to make-up. I really thought there was no way he could do it. But, He passed the Heritage runner in about 300m and the finish wasn't even close. He ran a 50 second split in his 400m. That is awesome.
Congrats to both track teams and the great workers who helped run the meet. We couldn't do it without them.
I haven't heard form Baseball. Let's hope they won. It doesn't matter if it's by one run or 10 runs, the victories count the same.

Boys Track
Ok. I've been waiting for final stats on Softball but don't have it. SO, I will update you on Boys Track. The Railroaders placed 4th at Goshen out of 16 teams. Todd Frickey won the 100m. Robert Deventer won the Discus. Drake Landes got 4th in Long Jump. The 4x100 relay team got 2nd. That team consisted of Jamarius Mitchell, Christian Miller, Desmond Kessler, and Todd Frickey. Great Day Guys!
Sunshine on the Railroaders!
I'm just starting to get some results from todays Activities for the Railroader SPring Teams.
The Girls Track team ran at Churubusco and did a great job competing. The team got 2nd in the Black Division getting beat by the host Lady Eagles. JOrdyn Knott continued her winning by earning 40 points winning the 200m, 400m, High Jump, and Long Jump. Wow! Laura Moynahan had a great day throwing 106 feet in the Discus and placing 3rd. She also placed 3rd in Shot Put. Ariel McCoy placed in both the 1600m and 3200m. Kaitlin Hinkle placed in the 800m. All the 3 relays placed. Great work Runners and Coaches!
The Baseball team split with East Noble today. The Railroaders won the first game 8-7 . Kylan LaMotte got the win and James Weber got the save. Brandon Porter was 3 of 4. He scored 3 runs, had 2 doubles, and 4 stolen bases. Great outing Railroaders.
In the 2nd game, the Railroaders fell by a score of 8-3. The Railroaders could only muster 4 hits (Shawn Lacey, Brandon Porter, Andrew Robinson, and Tyler Barrientes). Brandon Porter was tagged with the loss. But, Andrew Robinson and Noah Follet pitched 4 innings of shut out baseball for the railroaders.
The only information I have about Softball is The Lady Railroaders defeated Eastside in the first game and were losing to Dekalb in the 2nd game in the bottom of the 7th. When I get more information, I will let you know!

Dekalb Showdown Changes
The Dekalb County AD's met this morning to come up with a plan for the Dekalb Showdown. The weather is not good for the games being played today. So, todays games at Lakewood Park have been postponed to tomorrow and have been moved to Eastside.
All of the games will be played at Eastside High School tomorrow instead of Lakewood Park. Why? Eastside has a rain tarp to cover the infield. This will help get the field ready to play early tomorrow.
Garrett will start Saturday off by playing the first game at 10am vs Eastside. Garrett will play Dekalb at APPROXIMATELY 2PM and then play Lakewood Park at APPROXIMATELY 6PM. The entire scheduled games will be played at 10am, 12noon, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm, and 8pm. That is a Marathon of great Softball. It should be exciting, like it always is.
THE TIMES ARE JUST ESTIMATED START TIMES. Because of the tight schedule. Infield practice between games will be eliminated after the teams first appearance and field prep will be done on a limited basis only.
The Cost for the tournament will be $10 for all day. The price will be reduced for the 2pm game. For those concerned about the price, the price is no different than what it would have been playing on Friday and Saturday.

2 ACAC Losses
I don't have stats but both the Softball team and the Baseball team fell to Woodlan tonight. This was the opening game of ACAC play for the Railroaders. The Girls lost to a very strong (Probably ACAC favorite) Woodlan team 7-1. The Baseball team lost a very close game 2-1.
The Lady Railroaders play in the Dekalb Showdown tomorrow at Lakewood Park. Garrett plays at 6pm. Hopefully the weather will hold off to get the games in this weekend.
The Baseball team travels to East Noble on Saturday for a double header.
Good Luck teams!
