cation, drive, and independence that Trent displayed in running for McEwen while attending Waverly, which no other student in the history of his school has done, are qualities that I am excited for him to bring to our program here at Freed.” In addition to running cross country, Trent played on Waverly Central’s basketball and

Chester County team in district Saturday A talented Chester County High School softball team is winding down its regular season as the district tournament approaches. CCHS has added a home game with Riverside Thursday, and is scheduled to open district play at Selmer at 4 p.m. Saturday against an opponent to be determined. In other games, CCHS hosted district-leader Lexington April 26, falling 7-2. The Eaglettes got both of their runs in the third inning. Logan McEarl led off with a double and advanced on a sacrifice by Cynthia Beene. After a walk to Beth Blackstock, Elantra Cox singled to score one runner, and Jessica Weeks drove in another with a double, pulling the Eaglettes within 5-2. However, they went hitless the remainder of the contest. Cox had three hits and scored three times as CCHS beat McNairy 6-2 at home last Thursday. Sammie Jo Ivy added two hits including a lead-off homer in the fifth. Bailey Gately got the victory, striking out six. Later that same day, CCHS played Bartlett in a
tournament in Jackson, pounding out a 9-1 victory. Katelyn Faulkner gave up only one hit to get the victory. McEarl blasted a three-run home run in the first inning to kick-start the offense. Also in the tournament, Halls had only two base runners off Kamara Trice as Chester County won easily, 5-0 in four innings. Hits by Cox, Weeks, and Ivy plated two runs in the first inning, with Ivy’s third-inning double scoring two more runs. That pitted Chester County against perennial state powerhouse Covington late Friday, and the Eaglettes jumped in front early, holding on for a 4-3 victory. Two firstinning walks mixed in with a Weeks single and a double by Ivy scored three runs in the first inning for CCHS. Cox hit a two-out home run in the second for 4-2 lead, and Gately struck out the final Covington hitter in the game with the tying runner on base to preserve the win. She fanned a total of 12 Lady Chargers, recording all the outs against her opponents. CCHS is now 26-5 on the year.
