Explosion Takes 2nd in First 2008 Tourney!

It was a long and amazing weekend for Paola Explosion in our first tournament of the year. With about half the team gone to state softball and track on Friday, we came together Saturday evening to play in the Memorial Day Grand Slam tournament at MAWSC. The girls went 4-0 in pool play outscoring their opponents 31-6. Explosion won the first bracket game, but slipped up in the second bracket game against the Predators whose bats and gloves were red hot in the last game of the evening Sunday. The Explosion girls rolled out of their beds before dawn Monday and were back at the ball fields for the 8:30 a.m. game and played six back-to-back games to snag second place in the tournament losing to Mid Mo Xtreme. Working overtime on a holiday, Explosion played 10 and a half hours of non-stop softball on Monday, and they gave non-stop effort. Overall, the girls played 12 games and outscored their opponents 67-37. A big thank you goes out to all of our players for an entertaining weekend and to the parents, brothers, sisters and friends who were there to cheer on the team.

Next stop is the Triple Crown tournament in Oklahoma City held in conjunction with the Women's College World Series. Look for great things this summer from Paola Explosion!

Good Luck to Paola High School at 4A State, and to Paige R. at state track!

Congratulations and good luck to the Paola Panthers softball team as they advance to the state softball tournament in Salina!! And to Paige Rockers who is representing Anderson County High School in triple jump at the state track meet in Wichita!
