Cornersville hosted Marshall County High School in an intra-county rivalry contest Tuesday night as the Lady Bulldogs celebrated senior night in Frog Bottom. The Lady Dawgs waited until after the game to honor seniors Emma Mitchell, Hannah Hart, Mikaela King, Hannah Singleton and Ali Blair Jones and in an act of kindred sportsmanship, Cornersville also honored MCHS seniors Leah Hollingsworth, Kathryn Donahue, Sydne Solomon, and Savannah Wooten. And the game was awesome, won by the Tigerettes 4-1.

The Forrest Lady Rockets wrapped up regular season play Wednesday on senior night at the Field of Dreams in Chapel Hill with a 3-1 win over Community. Forrest extended its all-time unbeaten mark versus the Viqueens to 43 straight games dating back to 2002 and the two-run margin tied the closest the Unionville squad has ever come to beating the Lady Rockets. The only other time Community has come within two runs of victory over Chapel Hill came in the 2015 state championship season when Forrest beat the Viqueens 2-0 in the last week of the regular season.
