On Monday, the Magnet Cove Lady Panthers softball team was running a gamut of emotions from shock to jubilation to downright confidence.
And why not? Just two days prior, on Saturday, May, 18, the Lady Panthers won the 2A state softball championship in a game that could only be described as pure domination.
Their motto for the last couple of years has been “We Own The Dirt,” and that has been more than evident this season.
In Magnet Cove’s 10 postseason games, they allowed a total of two runs, and close to as many hits.

The Magnet Cove Junior High and High School track teams have been a force to be reckoned with all year long.

The Magnet Cove Junior High Lady Panthers track team won their district championship with a total of 228 points, well ahead of second-place England’s 89 points.
The 4X800-meter relay team of Katie Dorsey, Lyndsey Hamby, Paiton Scrivner and Abby Holland finished first with a time of 11:33.42.

Two local teams played their first games of the district tournament season yesterday, with both moving on to the next round.
In baseball, the Poyen Indians dug themselves out of a 2-0 first-inning hole to earn an 11-2 win over Mount Ida, while the Glen Rose softball team made short work of E-Stem 11-1 yesterday.
Those two wins set up a big day of baseball and softball today as the district tournaments roll on.

The sports pages needs the community's help

There are few things on the planet that I enjoy more than bringing all of you the latest local sports scores and stories.
But this time of year it can be especially hard to make sure that everyone gets their information into the newspaper.
With spring sports alone, I am covering 15 different leagues (high school baseball/softball/soccer, several Little Leagues, youth softball and T-ball) that include roughly 103 teams.
That means I’m out every night taking pictures of games throughout the county. But for the most part, I can’t get to everyone.
