Tonight’s The Night For The Lady Chiefs
April 22, 2010
Today will be a really good day for Northview High Softball Coach Sammy Day if his Lady Chiefs can beat Baker for the third time this year.
The No. 1 seed Lady Chiefs (23-3) will face the Baker Gators(15-7) at 6 p.m. for the District 1-2A championship. No. 2 Baker advanced to the finals with a 10-8 win over Freeport Tuesday afternoon.
It will be the third time the two teams have met this year — Northview has beat Baker twice this season, 13-1 and 8-0. The Gators are hungry for a district win; they have won the district crown three years running.
“It’s going to be tough. It’s really hard to beat a good team three times in one season. We are going to have to play the best game we have played all year,” Day said.
Not only will Baker need to overcome an all-around tough Lady Chief’s team, they will also need to deal with a freshman on the pitcher’s mound. Misty Doran, 14, is 17-3 on the season and a perfect record in the district. She even pitched a no hitter against Ponce de Leon.
With a win Thursday night, the Lady Chiefs will be home for the regionals, a loss would put them on the road.
“We want to win the district championship; we want to play at home,” Day said.
Members of the Lady Chiefs are Aimee Clarke, Kolbi Cobb, Candice Greenwell, Amber McMillan, Miranda Burkett, Ashley Digmon, Kara Hardin, Shaniqua Jones, Sarah Killam, Shawna Montgomery, Hayley Simpson, Emily Vickrey and Misty Doran. Manager is Brook Schlobohm. Head coach is Sammy Day, and Assistant coach is Bobby Simpson.
