We wanted to add a few superlatives to the Center Roughrider's 2-0 win Tuesday night over Huntington. Rider pitcher Dalton Horton had an outing to remember, as the junior south-paw pitched a no-hitter, striking out 20 batters. In addition, Josh Burns went 2-for-3 at the plate with an RBI and run scored. Taylor Tomlin got a RBI as he knocked Burns in with a triple. The 4-5 Riders will be in Jasper Friday night, still fighting for a playoff spot.

 

Other Dist. 20-3A scores Tuesday, it was first-place Carthage over Hudson, 4-3, as Carthage's lead is now 2 games over Hudson; third-place Diboll beats Jasper, 10-0, improving Diboll to 5-4, and giving Jasper a 5-5 mark, a half-game up on Center. The top 4 teams advance to the state playoffs.

 

Due to tomorrow being Good Friday, most athletic events are being held today.

 

District 21-1A's playoff picture has been settled with two games remaining. Douglass is 14-0; Cushing is 10-3; and Joaquin is 10-4. Timpson is 2 games back of the Rams in fourth. The top three teams advance.
