Bumpus Tournament

The HMS Lady Panthers played great softball on Friday and Saturday outscoring their opponents 56 -10 to get to the Championship game of the Bumpus Tournament.

In the First elimination game against Brookwood, HMS got their first out of the park Home Run off the bat of Shelby Brown on a 200 ft fence. The 220 ft home run helped HMS on to their 8-3 win and earned Brown a position on All Tournament along with Madison Deluka off the power of her arm over the weekend.

In the final game, they met a GREAT Thompson Team who went through the tournament undefeated as well.

They scored first with a great hitting offense and the lead grew to 7 - 0 before a double in the 5th by Wray set her up to be driven in by Deluka then the Panthers quickly put two more on the board. Unfortunately a couple of errors and some more great hitting put 3 more on the board for Thompson.

The game ended with the score of 10 - 3 with Thompson taking home the first place trophy. The Lady Panthers took home a very respectable 2nd.

The coming week has the Lady Panthers playing at Rudd on Monday, at Bragg on Tuesday, then at home on Wednesday against Pleasant Grove at 4:30 and Rudd at 6:00 before finishing the week up at Mountain Brook at another Weekend Tournament!


Good Luck Panthers!
