The Conway High Lady Cats got a much-needed win at Russellville on Thursday, 7-3, in a 7A/6A-Central conference matchup.
The Lady Cats improved to 5-13 overall and 3-4 in conference play and are currently fourth in the conference, with the top six being chosen for the Class 7A State Tournament next month.
Official standings will be released today.
CHS coach Chad Longing praised his team, saying, "Tonight was really the first game we've played all aspects of the game. Tonight it all came together in a big conference win.”
The Lady Cats pumped 11 hits for the game with four players — Hannah Cooper, Maddie Shaw, Deonna Howard and Morgan Setzler — each recording two hits to lead the offense. That didn’t surprise Longing, who said, “We typically swing it pretty good.”
Senior Hannah Cooper solved the Lady Cats' recent pitching troubles. She went the distance, allowing just six hits and three walks, which was key for the Lady Cats, according to Longing.
“We work hard and we haven’t been rewarded very often this year so it feels good to go into a weekend and enjoy it and really see that our hard work pays off," he said. "I’m proud for the girls."
