On Friday, they split their two matches at the Willard Scramble. They lost 1-2 (25-11, 18-25, 21-25) to 13-3-3 Camdenton but came back to defeat 12-8-1 Branson 2-1 (25-10, 15-25, 25-9).
Jaylee VanBecelaere led the Cardinals attack Tuesday against Kickapoo with 7 kills. Savannah Crane had 21 sets. And Avery Gardner had 11 digs.
Next up after Republic will be the Carl Junction tournament on Saturday. On Tuesday, Webb City will be at Carthage.
Back from their big 25-1 win at Nevada Monday, the 9-6 Webb City softball team has an away game at 5 p.m. today (Thursday, Sept. 25) at Carthage.
The Cardinals’ last game at home was a 5-4 loss to Kickapoo (14-7).
Over the weekend, they were 3-1 in the Park Hill tournament. They opened with a 6-5 loss to Fort Osage, then followed with wins against St. Joseph Lafayette (11-1), St. Joseph Central (16-0), and West Platte (5-1).
The scheduled home game on Tuesday against Republic was rained out.
