HHS puts in work at Sheridan tourney

    Holyoke High School softball played four games in a varsity tournament in Sheridan, Aug. 31-Sept. 1, winning two, 14-8 and 6-2, and losing two, 3-4 and 7-15.
    Dragons played Cedaredge; Lewis-Palmer High School, Monument; Eagle Valley High School, Gypsum; and Abraham Lincoln High School, Denver. Games were limited to one hour and 15 minutes each.
    Coach Sherman Kage said he thought the team’s first tournament went well, despite some difficult losses.
    “There were a few errors that cost us a run or two against Eagle Valley and Cedaredge, otherwise I think we could have walked away with a first place trophy,” he said. “But all in all it was a great weekend. The girls played some great, great softball.”
