The Lady Govs earned that spot by sweeping the LBW Lady Saints 3-2 and 14-9 Thursday afternoon in Andalusia.
NATHANIEL FRAZIER For the Eagle “Nobody gave us a chance. Everybody had counted us out. But now we’re in! This means everything.”
Those were the words of Wallace Lady Govs' softball assistant coach Brianna Griffiths shortly after the team clinched a spot in the district tournament. Reached on the bus while headed back to Dothan, Griffiths said, “At one point we were 8-16. We didn’t have a chance. But we had several talks with the team individually and as a group.
"Coach Dews asked them if they could come together and play as a team. Once they started playing for each other and not for themselves, then everything changed. Good things began to happen.”People are also reading… “It was so nice to clinch this spot at their place,” she said. “But we’re not finished. Now we’ve got to take care of business at our place Saturday.”
The Lady Govs are now 17-13 in conference play and 22-20 overall after winning 10 in a row. Wallace will close out the regular season this Saturday at home against LBW and then will head to Alabaster May 9-12 for their conference and district tournament.
