Ellie Tramp (catcher) and Caitlin Guenther (pitcher), both of Crofton, traveled to the Class D State Softball as they were picked up by the Ponca 18-and-under team.
The first game was played Friday night against the Fullerton Warriors. The Ponca team defeated the Warriors 8-6.
Saturday morning they played Seward Illusion, beating them 8-1, and that night we faced Wausa, winning 9-1.
Sunday morning, we played BDS and the girls ended up winning 13-0.
The Championship game ended up being against the Ponca 16-and-under team and they beat the 18u team, 4-2, but since the 18-and-under team hadn't lost and the 16u team had, both Ponca teams faced off again and the 16u team ended up Champions beating us 11-4.
“The girls played really well and it was a great experience!” said Kim Guenther.
