The first season of competing full time in the Spring has gone well for Hollister Softball. Coach Willy Morgan’s squad has been very competitive this spring and has eight wins on the year, including chalking up a second place finish in the Marionville Tournament this past weekend.
The Missouri State High School Activities Association has placed the Lady Tigers in the Strafford District instead of linking them with Forsyth and the other tri-lakes area teams at the district over in Crane. The seedings have been released for that district.
As expected Strafford is the number one seed. The Lady Indians are the defending state champs and are undefeated this year. Plato is the two and Fair Grove the Three. The Lady Tigers received the four seed and they will take on fifth seeded Conway in the first round. Sparta, Niangua, and Fordland round out the field.
First Round Games will take place on Monday.
Strafford plays Fordland at 4. The Hollister-Conway game will start around 5:30. Plato plays Niangua at 7 and at 8:30 it will be Fair Grove vs Sparta.
The Lady Tigers have already beaten Conway once this season. They got a 10-0 run-rule victory at the Ballparks of America the first week in April.
