New Albany Bulldogs

 County softball teams saw their seasons come to an end on Saturday, falling in games versus Vardaman, Pine Grove and Smithville.

At West Union, the Lady Eagles could not overcome early mishaps, falling 11-6 to Vardaman at home.

The Lady Rams scored five runs in the first inning off hits by Grace Edmondson and Trisha Williams. The Lady Eagles also committed two errors, helping Vardaman.

 Tyler Dowdy’s no-hitter for Ingomar capped Thursday’s playoff action, as three Union County teams picked up game one wins.

Dowdy pitched the complete game against Smithville, finishing with eight strikeouts in the Falcons’ 4-0 win.

Brady Cox put Ingomar on the board in the fourth, bringing in a run off of a sacrifice fly out, which was followed by a two-run single by Dillen Speck. A Smithville error in the fifth brought in Ingomar’s fourth run, plating Dowdy.

The turnout for volleyball at New Albany High on Tuesday far exceeded the expectations of many, as 52 girls showed up to learn fundamentals and are working toward being a part of the inaugural team next fall.

In the five years since the sport was established, New Albany girls golf has remained consistent in its efforts, advancing to state each year as the second seed from the division tournament. This season, the Lady Bulldogs achieved a great accomplishment, taking the division title last week.
