The Lady Go-Devils softball team took out Nevada School, 7-5, in a home game victory Friday, April 7.

Junior Varsity loss

The Gurdon Junior Varsity softball team lost to Nevada, 7-3 but gained may have gained vital experience.

Nevada jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning, though Gurdon players seemed to give it all they had.

Ann Watson worked hard all three innings, with a few strikeouts. Watson walked three in the top of the inning.

In the bottom of the inning, Sarah Boyce got a hit and stole second base. Heather Prince had one RBI, and Cody Golden got another RBI.
