RED OAK - The Red Oak High School Baseball and Softball Booster Club and Lady
Hawks Softball program held its first annual CO-ED softball tournament to raise
funds for the booster club and Lady Hawks for their upcoming season.
They also held a Home Run derby last Friday night for both men and women.
20 men signed up and competed in the men’s HR Derby with the winner going to
Chris Smith (former ROHS grad) hitting 12 straight.
In the women’s HR Derby it came down to two current ROHS varsity Lady Hawk
players (Marley Dickert and Morgan Dufour) battling it out with Dufour taking
the trophy.
The actual tournament started Saturday morning at 8 a.m.
Four teams had registered; ROBSA, Moving Pictures, Team Oliphant and The
Coaches. At the end of the tournament it was “The Coaches” team that won the
tournament.
Although a few rain showers passed through during the day, it did not dampen the
fun everyone had. It was a great friendly tournament and it was all for a great
cause.
A big thanks to Coach Tatum Thorne and Red Oak Independent School District
Police Chief Scott Lindsey for serving as umpires all day for some reason, no
one appealed the Chief’s calls in the field.
