The second time playing in the Calhoun County Gridiron Showcase was much more forgiving for Ohatchee head coach Nathan Wehunt.
Last year, he took the head coaching job days before the spring game.
This year, his Ohatchee Indians were able to pull out a 20-7 win over the Pleasant Valley Raiders before the scoreboard was wiped clean for the junior varsity in the fourth quarter. At the sound of the final buzzer, the Ohatchee junior varsity team was up 8-0 over Pleasant Valley’s junior varsity team.

The best thing in Thursday’s opening day of the state softball tournament happened with little fanfare. It’s recorded wrong in AHSAA.com’s official pitch-by-pitch account. “Now batting: (8) #21 Tymeria Mackey,” the entry says of Wellborn’s leadoff hitter in the top of the fifth inning against Lexington. Two entries later, “Mackey hits a single.”
The batter was actually a pinch-hitter named Megan Butcher. Those who know her story are no doubt delighted the little-used senior in her first year of softball got her moment on the state’s biggest stage, as Wellborn was making its first state-tourney appearance in softball since 2001.

Cherokee County didn’t do much offensively until the later innings Thursday morning in the Class 4A state tournament, but with the way Tori Davis pitched, the Warriors didn't need many runs to beat Oak Grove.
