Two area high school softball teams remained the top-ranked team of their respective classes, two more teams moved into the top three and three teams moved into this week’s Missouri High School Fastpitch Coaches Association rankings, which were released Wednesday.
It’s a state-ranked softball battle for a berth in the Class 4 Final Four. The Helias Lady Crusaders (26-6) head to Camdenton today to take on the Lady Lakers (24-8) in a quarterfinal contest. First pitch is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at Camdenton Softball Field.
The St. Elizabeth Lady Hornets played three games in a 26-hour time frame this weekend in the Calvary Lutheran Tournament, but they made it look like a walk in the park. St. Elizabeth cruised to a first-place finish Saturday night, leading all but the opening 90 seconds of a 48-31 victory against the Vienna Lady Eagles in the championship game.
