Lady Cards’ postseason run ends with one-game shutout
MARION – The Lady Cards’ varsity softball team changed their Regional Quarterfinal round matchup with Jourdanton from a series to a one-game elimination due to concerns about the weather for the rest of the weekend. With just one chance to move on in the postseason, the stakes during their May 12 matchup elevated to a heightened level. The Lady Cards held the score close during a game that lived up to the intensity of a one-off postseason game, but they never found a way to break into the scoreboard as they were held scoreless in a 3-0 defeat to the Lady Squaws. 05/17/2023 12:00 AM

Cards take first Area title in 17 years
WIMBERLY – The Columbus Cardinals baseball team kept their postseason alive after competing in a three-game series with the Lytle Pirates as the teams vied for the Area Championship and a spot in the regional tournament portion of the playoffs. Recent history for Columbus had not been kind to the Cards in the area round as Columbus had not moved on past that round for the past 17 years. Columbus finally got their breakthrough this year as they had a dominating effort against the Pirates. Pitching and defense set the tone for the Cards as they did not allow a single run in a two-game sweep to claim their first Area Championship in nearly two decades. Now the Cards move on to face a familiar foe as they take on the Industrial Cobras for Columbus’ third match this season against their district rivals. The two teams split their district season matchups with one win apiece. 05/17/2023 12:00 AM
