The Berryville Bobcats picked up a pair of victories

Officially, the track and field meet held Friday, April 11, at Green Forest High School was named the Anstaff Relays. For all practical purposes, however, it was the Lydia Russell Runaway.

Kendall Gonce drove in four runs and Bailey Skelton and Haliegh Keith added three RBI apiece to highlight a big day offensively as the Berryville Lady Bobcats defeated Huntsville 19-4 in four innings in high school softball action on Tuesday, April 1.

Bella Phillips went 3-for-3 and drove in three runs as the Green Forest Lady Tigers defeated Life Way Christian 9-3 in high school softball action on Friday, April 11.

The Green Forest Lady Tigers suffered a tough loss early last week, but they bounced back just fine.

Kristin Whetham has coached in the Berryville School District since 2006, including a successful tenure as the Lady Bobcats’ head volleyball coach. She said she always expected to retire from Berryville.

The Green Forest Tigers dropped a pair of conference road games last week, losing 9-6 at Prairie Grove on Tuesday, April 1, and 11-0 at Gravette on Thursday, April 3.

The Berryville Bobcats had a tough week on the baseball diamond, losing to Huntsville 12-0 on Tuesday, April 1, before falling at Gentry 10-0 on Wednesday, April 2.
