Would like to see the results posted.

We have had the chance to see/play a few of these teams down in Waverly on Friday nights and this should be a good tournament.

While the weather did not cooperate much during regular season it sure was great for tournament games all day Saturday and Sunday at ND.

I don't remember all the Saturday scores but in game 1 it was Burg 1 over South Webster.
In game 2 it was ND over Burg 2.
In game 3 it was Clay over Piketon 8
And in game 4 it was Northwest over Minford.

On Sunday in first Semi final game Burg 1 over ND by 10 in 6th inning.
In second Semi final game Clay over Northwest by 1 in I believe the bottom of 7th.

In final game Burg 1 over Clay 8 -2.
Congratulations Burg 1, 2015 Southern Ohio Junior High Softball Tournament Champs!

In fact, congratulations to all teams that participated in the league this year and hope to see all of you back again next year.

Great day to finish off the spring for the jr higher's . I had not watched any jr high ball this season and came away very impressed . In the 1st semi Burg was just too much for a younger ND team . Emnett girl , the 1b , hit 2 dingers .
In the other semi I came in the 4th inning with NW ahead of Clay 4-0 , each added a run and they entered the 6th inning with NW ahead 5-1 . Following a couple walks Clay had a kid drive one to the right center gap for a huge 3 run scoring playing that put them in place to tie the game . They added a run in the 7th to win it . Both teams looked great , NW will have several impact players enter HS next year , They looked super at most positions , really impressed by their C, SS and 3rd baseman. And Clay is in the same boat , a great group of 8th graders and a super solid team , 2 good pitchers , they will clearly contend for the SOC 1 title the next 4 years .
But the day belonged to a deep talented Burg team , great in the circle , tons of speed all the way thru the lineup , good baserunners , and didnt panic when Clay got a 2 run lead in the 1st inning , Claxon kid hits a 3 run dinger in the bottom of 1 that seemed to swing the momentum and Clay never really recovered . So Burg homered 3 times in 2 games at the jr high level . Thats impressive stuff.
