Overall, the Lady Panthers took care of business on the diamond and never tasted defeat during league play—capturing the league conference title at 8-0.

Magnet Cove Lady Panther softball head coach Hunter Vincent noted how much this conference championsh­ip means to the program and urges their confidence to make a strong run in the postseason.

“I’m very happy to win the game,” Vincent said. “We were in this position last year to clinch a conference championsh­ip and let it slip away. Tonight we took care of business against a very good Foreman team.”

Vincent mentioned [Bella] Harville pitched great, and the team played great defense, and they were just good enough on offense.

“We need our sticks to come around better heading into the postseason,” Vincent added.
