After a huge victory over the Pleasant Hill Eagles, the Ebarb Lady Rebels softball team stumbled late on April 2 to Evans, losing 2-1.

Ebarb got on the scoreboard early after Raeghan Lewing doubled, scoring one run.  Evans answered back in the fourth inning with one run and then the game winner in the sixth.

Evans pitchers struck out eleven, while Ebarb’s Lewing sat down three via strikeout.  On the mound she surrendered two runs on four hits over seven innings on the mound, but also led the team in batting going three-for-three.

Earlier, on March 27, the girls were in rare form taking out the Pleasant Hill Lady Eagles 26-0.

Lewing didn’t allow a single run and only one hit over the three innings pitched.

Autumn Wyatt put up four hits on five at-bats.  She singled in the first, singled in the second, homered in the third, and singled in the third.  She was one triple away from hitting for the cycle.

After a choppy start to the season, the Ebarb Rebels baseball team shows signs of progression and coming together, winning four of their last six games.

The Rebels went down in defeat on April 2, losing 16-8 to Evans.

The Rebels scored four runs in the sixth inning on hits by Hunter Barnes, Garrett Rivers, Trayce Ezernack, and Robert Meshell.

Ezernack was on the mound for Ebarb, going four innings and allowing five runs on seven hits while striking out four and walking one.  He was relieved by Jacob Lovelady, who pitched two-thirds of an inning, and Alec Remedies, who pitched one-third of an inning.

Days before, on March 27, the Rebels traveled to Pleasant Hill and soundly defeated the Eagles 13-3.

More than 30 students signed up to learn the sport of boxing in a safe and comfortable environment for the spring semester at the Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts.

“The boxing class has been a wonderful addition to our physical education program,” said Dale Clingerman, coordinator of athletics and recreation. “The students are extremely excited and passionate about learning a new skill and getting in shape.

Scott Springer and Trust Say, a pair of 17-year olds from the Chicago area, used a noontime flurry of big bass bites to power past the 241 other teams competing on Toledo Bend Reservoir on Sunday in the Mossy Oak Fishing Bassmaster High School Central Open presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods.

The teens, who are part of the Christy, Springer and Say Community Club, boated a five-bass limit that weighed 21 pounds, 7 ounces, which was more than 2 pounds heavier than the secondplace duo. That catch propelled Springer and Say into the High School national championship tournament, which will be held at an undisclosed location later this year. In all, 24 of the 242 teams (the Top 10 percent) earned a berth in the championship with their showing on Toledo Bend.
