In Windthorst Friday, the Purple posted a shutout sweep of Burkburnett and the host Trojanettes. Jacksboro posted an 8-0, four-inning win over Burkburnett, scoring twice in the first, five in the second and one in the third. The squad had nine hits led by Kylie Tullous, Holman and Hadlee Richardson with two hits each. Holman added a walk and three RBIs.

Tullous had two walks as well. Holman got the win in the circle, allowing two hits and fanning six.

HOLLIDAY – You couldn’t blame Alex Holman for having a little bit of trepidation late in Tuesday’s District 7-3A softball opener.

Jacksboro’s senior pitcher had done a solid job in the circle but faced one last hurdle before she and her teammates could celebrate … and it was a big one. It was in the form of fellow pitcher Addy Lindemann, who was 3-3 at the plate in the game.

The Lady Eagles were down to their final out but had runners at second and third. The pair battled before Lindemann popped out back to Holman to end Jacksboro’s 7-3 win over the hostesses.

HOLLIDAY – Jacksboro’s non-district baseball schedule had the Tigers fielding a young team which gained valuable experience but took its lumps in many situations.

Tuesday night in the District 7-3A opener was much of the same as Jacksboro committed six errors in the field which enabled the Eagles to put together just six hits and come through with a 10-0, five-inning win at Jake Cottrell Park.

PEASTER – Jacksboro’as girls tricksters had solid track meet here March 11 finishing fourth in the girls division.

The squad was paced by a pair of first place finishes: Kylie Tullous in the pole vault and Savannah Thompson in the discus. Second place finishes were received by Emma Owen in the triple jump with a third place finish received by Traci Berend in the shot put.

HOLLIDAY – Jacksboro’s softball team’s bats exploded for 15 hits in a tournament opener with Class 4A Sweetwater Thursday afternoon, enabling the Tigerettes to get out to an early lead and coast to a 14-1 win over the Mustangs.
