No. 25 ranked Lady Cards stay tied for district lead
The mission has been clear for the Lady Cards’ softball team after tying the season series against fellow district leader Hallettsville a few weeks ago. Their goal: win out for the rest of the regular season and give themselves a chance to either tie for the district championship or win it if the Brahmettes stumble a bit to end the season. To prevent their own stumbles on the way to that goal, the Lady Cards made sure to play solid games against Industrial on Tuesday, April 4 and then again on Monday, April 10 against Tidehaven. Offense and defense came together perfectly for Columbus as the 25th ranked team in the TGCA poll won both games by large margins. 04/12/2023 12:00 AM
