After enduring weeks of enforced game postponements
due to rain, the Calhoun County Youth Softball
League staged a battle at Upper West Fork Park Monday
night, May 20. With both teams hungry for the win,
Henry's Team of Grantsville and West Fork squared off
and worked hard, keeping the score tied through much
of the game. West Fork prevailed with a final score
of 17-15, bringing their season record to 4-0.
Congratulations to the two Most Valuable Players
contributing to the win: Mia McAllister and Flo
Parsons.
The daughter of Rocky and Tammy Tawney of Chloe,
Mia's positive attitude makes her a pleasure to work
with at all times. The shortstop's batting average
is .484 and, "She has a vacuum sweeper for a glove,"
said
Coach Bill Mullins.
A hard-hitting first baseman, Flo Parsons is the
granddaughter of Jim and Kathy Parsons of Chloe with
a .350 batting average. Never one to quit, Flo is
very dependable, plays hard under any circumstances,
and turned an exciting decisive double play in Monday
night's game.
