Rebels and Panthers continue their remarkable seasons

With the regular season and district tournament concluded, only two Hogoheegee softball teams remain. Rural Retreat and Chilhowie ended their seasons with first round losses. Holston, whose late season surge boosted them into the second around of the district tournament, was terminated at the hands of PH while Northwood closed out GW. Now just PH and NW remain.

NORTHWOOD: The Panthers have only won one of their last four including two losses to Hogo front-runner PH and a loss to former Hogoheegee rival, Lebanon. The Panthers must travel to James River to take on the Knights out of the Northern Roanoke Valley. The Knights stormed through their Pioneer district schedule, winning all ten games. At 16-5, four of the Knights' five losses were to AA schools with another to TRD powerhouse Glenvar. James River has highly esteemed pitcher Abbie Rexrode to thank for their success. The Panthers (14-7) must overcome and regain their confidence if they want a chance to advance.
