Will the defending 2011 Guymon Softball Tournament champion, the Lady Tigers, repeat at they 2012 tournament? That cannot be answered without knowing all of the results from pool play on Friday.
As the second and final day of play begins at 10 a.m. today, Texhoma has emerged the leader from Pool B with wins in all four games played Friday.
Pool A final results were unclear late Friday night because attempts to reach several coaches were unsuccessful.
TEXHOMAâA three-way scrimmage last night showed Texhoma head coach Aaron Witten that the Red Devils are ready for the football season, now just days away. On the other hand, the scrimmage was a reminder for Guymon head coach Bryan Ballard that the Tigers still need work with just five days remaining before the season opener.
âWe played really well,â Witten said.
