The Mooresville Blue Devils might want to think about relocating to Catawba County.

LENOIR — Something happened to Bandys this week the team had been searching for all season — all the pieces finally came together. And senior Olivia Huffman finally learned how to squash a bumblebee. Huffman had a key two-run single in the fourth, and Carlee Carpenter pitched a complete-game with six strikeouts Thursday as the Trojans topped host Hibriten 5-2 en route to their second straight Catawba Valley Athletic Conference softball tournament championship.

When the Newton-Conover boys' tennis team set out its goals for the 2008 season, one of them was to reach the state finals for the second straight year.
Mark off Round 1 of the state 2A dual-team playoffs as an obstacle standing in the Red Devils' way.
The home team soundly defeated West Henderson 9-0, and flexed its muscles well enough that a return trip to Burlington doesn't seem too out of the question. With each point, set and match coming rather easily Tuesday, head coach Brian Tate said the thing that worries him most this time of year is a repeat of 2006. |

When Bandys gets rolling, it makes you pay — and that’s what it wants to do. The Trojans used hard hitting and aggressive baserunning to force Maiden into eight errors Monday, and scored a run in their final three frames to take a 5-3 win in the first round of the Catawba Valley Athletic Conference softball tournament.
Fifth-seeded Bandys will face No. 1 Fred T. Foard, an 11-0 winner over No. 8 Patton, today at 4 p.m. in the semifinals at Hibriten. |
