The Yellow Jackets softball team is hoping to make some strides with a roster full of underclassmen this season.

After making a playoff appearance in 2018, head coach Shane Craig knows his team will have a long way to go to achieve a similar result this season.

Following a 15-win season and a trip to the Class AAAA state playoffs, the Blue Ridge softball team is looking for more.

Returning a veteran roster and seven starters, head coach Alecia Rhinehart said her team is expecting big things this season.

The Blue Ridge baseball team is off to a perfect 5-0 start, knocking off Wade Hampton (9-3), Liberty (7-3) and Berea (13-0) to win the Dog Invitational last week.

The Tigers showcased their pitching depth, using nine different players on the mound during the three games.

Having played in the last three state championships, Brandi Aiken’s Rebels are beginning to shape what looks to be a dynasty.

That’s not the word Aiken is using, however.

Riverside won two and lost two at the IP Classic in Georgetown last week.

Despite falling to AC Flora and Summerville early in the preseason tournament, Riverside bounced back to knock off Georgetown and Chapin.
