Panther Beat Down

By: Ryan Rogers, Dj Pittman, and Cheyenne Miranda

Hosford’s baseball team opened victory gates against Robert F. Monroe with a score of 15 for the panthers and 0 for Monroe. Our first baseman for the game, Ken King, lead the team with his monster three run home run in the bottom of the third, sending the ball flying over the right field fence. The pitching was awesome also with Dj Pittman leading off with 6 strike outs.

 The Lady Panthers also had a place in the winning circle against Monroe. They had an astonishing win with a score of 19 to 3 favoring the Panthers. Madison Peddie had a great game standing in the middle of the pitching circle with Karleigh Sellers catching.  Madison only sent three players walking down the line. Lady Panthers ended the game with a 15 run rule.

The anticipation was rising in the air as the Tolar teams walked onto the fields, and Hosford players prepared for the big battle. The girls came out with a great victory with a score of 15 to 0. Coach Alex Mercer coached his last game with us that day. The girls played a great game as a goodbye gesture to him. The boys fought super hard and almost pulled off the game, with their final score ending up being 9 to 6.

Pre-season Classic…

Written by: Garrett Swier, Ken King, and Madison Peddie

Two Saturdays ago, four baseball and softball teams met for a face off in a pre-season classic. The four teams consisted of; your very own Hosford, Altha, Tolar, and Blounstown. The first game against Altha was a big win for the boys and girls teams favoring Hosford. The boys’ game ended with a score of 10 to 0 with Ken King on the mound, and the girls with a score of 20 to 2 with Madison Peddie in the circle. Next,  Blounstown and Altha battled it out, ending with a win for Blounstown. In the next game Tolar tried their hardest to defeat the Tigers, but did not succeed. After these two games took place, it was Hosford vs. Tolar. The Lady Panthers came home the victory with the ending score of 18 to 2 with Madison Peddie bringing the heat. Unfortunately, the Hosford boys lost with an ending score of 6 to 5 with Micah McCaskill on the hill of clay. Overall, win or lose, it was a great kick-off to a greatly expected season.
