  The softball team came home this week with two road wins against Delone Catholic (7-2) and New Oxford (16-1). So far this season the Warriors have scored 71 runs in only 6 games, putting them at a good spot for potential district power rankings. Senior Kristi Langhans added 3 hits in Tuesday’s game against New Oxford.

  “The New Oxford game was a great turn around for me from the Delone Catholic game. I didn’t play very well against Delone, but I felt great after I went 3 for 3 batting against New Oxford,” Langhans said.
