Boyle has a big win over Garrard

On Thursday, the Boyle County softball team traveled over to Garrard County for an away game. Boyle started the game, bringing in three runs in the top of the first inning.

When it was Garrard’s turn to hit they tried to bite back and brought in a run in the bottom of the first. The Rebels continued to hold them off, scoring four more runs in the second inning while the Lions only brought in two.

But in the third inning, Garrard kept great defense against Boyle, holding Boyle back in the third inning and scoring another run for the Lions. So, in the next couple of innings, Boyle had to return the favor.

Holding Garrard back, the rebels scored one run in the top of the fourth and three more in the fifth inning. In the final inning, Garrard brought in one run while the Rebels brought in four, overall winning the game 15-5.

Junior Katherine Lemonds says, “We came out strong against a tough district opponent, the victory over Garrard County was a great confidence boost.”

The Rebels will continue strong in their next game tomorrow against Western Hills.

The Warriors can’t fight off the Rebels

On Monday, the DCA Warriors traveled across town to take on the Rebels on Boyle home turf.

The start of the game was slow with no runs in the first inning. But things took off quickly in the second inning when, after the Warriors scored one run in the top of the second, Boyle bit back hard.

The Rebels brought in 11 amazing runs in the bottom of the second. Then, in the top of the third inning, DCA attempted to catch up by scoring two more runs.

However, Boyle stood their ground and brought in seven more runs in the bottom of the third, winning the game 18-3.

Junior Katherine Lemonds says, “We came out and we did what we needed to do to get the win.” The Rebels will play again on Wednesday against Marion County.

Admirals can’t catch up to the Rebels

This past Tuesday, the Boyle County Rebels softball team invited the Danville Admirals to play on their home turf.

The Rebels kicked off the game by scoring seven runs in the bottom of the first inning.

Keeping great defense in the second inning, the Admirals couldn’t get a run in. However, when it is the Rebels’ turn to bat, they bring their all. The Rebels score seven more runs in the bottom of the second, putting the score at 14-0.

By the third inning, the Admirals get fired up and manage to fit in their first run of the game. But, the Rebels return and score two more runs to finish the game.

Junior Kasey Meadows said, “We all chipped in, worked together, and came together. Even though the season started off rough, we are working as one, working our way through adversity.”

The Rebels will play again Thursday at home, against Southwestern.

Boyle takes a tough loss against Casey

On Monday, the Boyle County Rebels softball team invited the Casey County Rebels over for a home game.

Casey, unfortunately, scored the first run in the top of the first inning to give them an early lead of 1-0.

However, in a quick rebuttal, junior Paisleigh Conn stole her way around the bases and scored Boyle a run at the bottom of the second. After that, Casey pushed forward and scored three runs in the top of the fifth and two more in the top of the sixth.

This lead was making it hard for Boyle to keep up, allowing Casey to win the game 6-1.

The only scorer for the game, Conn says, “it was a tough loss, but we will keep trying and do better next game.”

Boyle will play again on March 27, away against Woodford County.
