MAURICE — With a trip to the state softball semifinals on the line, the Division II Non-Select No. 5-seeded Lady Bulldogs of Iota traveled to Maurice to battle the No. 4-seeded North Vermilion Lady Patriots in a game that was dominated by outstanding pitching and strong defense. When the final out had been recorded, the Lady Dogs emerged victorious with a 3-0 victory, sending the Iota girls to the state tournament semifinals for the first time since 2004, when the Lady Bulldogs were state runner-up.

The pitcher’s mound was on fire on the 13-14 year old boys’ baseball diamond when Jennings travelled to take on Lake Arthur.

Jennings High School golfer and senior Bryson Hargrave qualified for the upcoming regional competition. The tournament will be held on Monday, April 27 in Alexandria. He punched his ticket by battling it out with two others in a sudden death playoff hole.

District 37 Rep. Reese “Skip” Broussard had the honor of throwing the ceremonial first pitch to kick off the Welsh Little League season. Teams gathered at Sportsman Park to celebrate opening day.

The Jennings High School tennis team recently released the results of the regional tournament.
