WALTON-VERONA SOFTBALL
Walton-Verona continued to stay hot last week as they went 3-0 and rattled off a five-game winning streak. The Bearcats got wins over Newport Central Catholic (6-2), Augusta (19-1) and Calvary Christian (7-4) to improve to 6-8 on the season.
After winning just one of their first nine games, they’ve turned things around to get within two games of .500. They’ve scored 71 runs in the five games and allowed 14 runs in the same span. Demi Lovan had a big game in the circle against Calvary Christian, striking out eight.
Lovan won NCKC Player of the Week in the week before when Walton-Verona had wins over Newport and Dayton.
The Bearcats followed with a 2-1 week last week as they inch closer to .500, sporting a 8-9 record after a 1-8 start to the season.
