The Lady Cat softball team ended their regular season with a 23-0 loss at River Road on Monday afternoon. Canadian was hanging around in the game, trailing 2-0 through the first two innings before River Road exploded for a 17-run top of the third.

Senior Lady Cat golfer Briley Merket’s superb golf season came to an end last week during the Region I-3A golf tournament at the Shady Oaks Golf Course in Baird on Wednesday and Thursday. Playing as an individual, Merket shot rounds of 95-90, for a 36-hole score of 185. Merket tied for 14th overall, but fell short of qualifying for the UIL Class 3A state tournament. Merket may have ended her terrific high school athletic career, but she’ll continue playing basketball at Angelo State University. Wall was the regional team champion, carding a 333-323—656. Childress advanced to state as a team, finishing third (383-370—753). Wall’s Shay West (75-72—147) won the individual championship. CHS junior Ben Bryant placed in the top 10 in individual play on Monday and Tuesday of last week and will advance to the Class 2A boys state golf tournament to be played May 9-10 at Austin’s Jimmy Clay Golf Course. Their coach is Hayden Merket.
