Westran and Cairo Softball Meet On Opposite Trajectories

Westran and Cairo meet for a softball district semifinal Thursday and both teams enter on a polar opposite path. At 13-5, Cairo enters winners of seven of its last nine games while 9-11 Westran has lost seven of its last nine. Westran coach Mark Harvey is in the first year of his second stint with the Lady Hornets.

Despite the recent skid, the team started the year 7-2. Westran and Cairo have split in two matchups this season.

Cairo coach Brian Winkler also believes his defense will play a pivotal role.

Winkler assesses the Lady Hornets.

Cairo has made six straight district championship games. Pregame of Thursday’s contest gets underway at 4:45 on KRES. Austin Ward will have the call.
