Red River softball starts winning streak

COUSHATTA – After a tough start to the season, Red River softball has built a three-game winning streak in hopes of turning its fortunes around.

The Lady Bulldogs (3-5) blasted Bossier, 15-1 and 15-2, in a doubleheader before handling Jonesboro-Hodge, 20-2, in the District 3-2A opener.

Red River had been on the other end of similar scores to start the season, dropping five games by at least 10 runs to Doyline, Northwood-Shreveport (twice), Northwood-Lena and Loyola.

The Lady Bulldogs have a busy homestand early this week with Saline on Monday, Jonesboro-Hodge on Tuesday and Northwood-Lena on Wednesday.

Red River baseball remains undefeated

The winning hasn’t stopped for the Red River baseball team as it picked up three wins in the Logansport Tournament to remain undefeated.

Red River’s pitching continues to dominate opposing hitters as the Bulldogs blew through Logansport (8-1) on Thursday, Castor (10-0) on Friday and Stanley (6-0) on Saturday.

The Bulldogs (8-0) will face arguably their toughest yet when they head to Haughton on Tuesday and Minden on Wednesday.

Riverdale baseball still searching for first win

The Riverdale baseball team has been on the wrong end of the first four games of the season, but the Rebels have a busy week ahead in search of their first win.

In games with a reported score, Riverdale hasn’t come closer than eight runs.

The Rebels have suffered losses to Riverfield Academy (twice), Tallulah Academy and Prairieview Academy.

Riverdale plays a home doubleheader against Providence Classical Academy on Tuesday, at Claiborne Academy on Wednesday, and at Tensas Academy on Saturday.
