Lady Raiders stop shutout to prevent second straight
All season, the Lady Raiders’ varsity softball team has had some struggles with scoring runs as well as preventing their opponents from responding with their own runs.

While they could not keep many of the games close, the Lady Raiders battled to prevent shutouts with just one so far in April. Their lone shutout loss came at the hands of the Tidehaven Lady Tigers to begin last week’s competition. Rice followed that defeat with a trip away from home to Hallettsville where they suffered another blowout defeat. 04/19/2023 12:00 AM
