Although White Plains was able to overcome its mental mistakes against second-ranked Good Hope to pick up a win over Straughn on Friday afternoon in the first round of the elimination bracket of the Class 3A state tournament, it was unable to overcome similar mistakes against seventh-ranked Saks on Saturday morning, falling 7-2.

Taylor West’s last pitch for Saks High School didn’t close out another state championship. It didn’t even happen on a softball diamond.
It came minutes after seventh-ranked Saks committed nine errors in losing 6-0 to No. 5 Winfield in a state-tournament elimination game Saturday at Lagoon Park. This time, she spoke with her voice and not her right arm.
After making her way to the team huddle, with her left shoe on and right shoe off, she threw her team a riser.
“You all need to keep your heads up,” the senior told her now former teammates, piercing an awkward silence. “Nobody expected us to even be here.”

The second time playing in the Calhoun County Gridiron Showcase was much more forgiving for Ohatchee head coach Nathan Wehunt.
Last year, he took the head coaching job days before the spring game.
This year, his Ohatchee Indians were able to pull out a 20-7 win over the Pleasant Valley Raiders before the scoreboard was wiped clean for the junior varsity in the fourth quarter. At the sound of the final buzzer, the Ohatchee junior varsity team was up 8-0 over Pleasant Valley’s junior varsity team.

The best thing in Thursday’s opening day of the state softball tournament happened with little fanfare. It’s recorded wrong in AHSAA.com’s official pitch-by-pitch account. “Now batting: (8) #21 Tymeria Mackey,” the entry says of Wellborn’s leadoff hitter in the top of the fifth inning against Lexington. Two entries later, “Mackey hits a single.”
The batter was actually a pinch-hitter named Megan Butcher. Those who know her story are no doubt delighted the little-used senior in her first year of softball got her moment on the state’s biggest stage, as Wellborn was making its first state-tourney appearance in softball since 2001.
