In just a few weeks, the 2024 “Fall Ball” schedule for the junior high softball and baseball teams from Quitman and Weston will be coming to an end. All four teams have had a successful season with each sporting at least a .500 record to date. 

As far as games remaining, the WJH baseball team has the fewest number of games remaining as they end their season on Thursday, October 24th, with a doubleheader at Downsville. The WJH softball team has just two  games left with the QJH softball team showing five games still to be played, albeit two being on the same day. The Quitman Junior High baseball team have a whopping eight games left as their last four playing dates are doubleheader events with the Gold team and Blue team both seeing action. 

Highlighting the remaining schedule is Quitman making the short trip to the Jackson Parish Recreation Department Sports Complex for a softball showdown against parish rival Weston on Thursday. First pitch is scheduled for 5:00 pm.

Quitman “Gold” 6 Weston 2 (Baseball): Three runs in the first and fourth innings extended the “Gold” team’s season long winning streak to seven while also establishing Jackson Parish supremacy in the battle of previously undefeated teams. Hayden Seymore and R Gray paced the Wolverines with each hitting home runs, driving in two and scoring one.

Seymore got the win for Quitman while Tolar took the loss as Weston fell to 7-1-1 on the year. 

Weston 7 Choudrant 1 (Softball): The Lady Wolves scored three in both the first and second inning and Rachel Bandy struck out 10 of the 14 Choudrant batters she faced over the four inning contest in the nightcap of the doubleheader. After spotting the Lady Aggies to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first following a walk and a double, which was Choudrant’s only hit of the game, Weston walked their way to a 3-1 lead after one. Gracie Gray, Bandy, Teegan Hall, and Brooklyn Keiffer all walked while Tessa Reeves and Eva Delaney reached base after getting hit by a pitch. The free passes continued early on in the second frame as Karley Whitehead and Hannah Aldy coaxed walks setting up a double by Gray, a single by Reeves and a triple by Bandy to up the lead to 6-1. The Lady Wolves added their final run in the bottom of the third when Kate Keiffer walked and scored on a double by Hall. With the victory Weston improves to 7-4 on the season. 

Choudrant 8 Weston 3 (Softball): In the opener, Choudrant jumped out to a 6-1 lead after three innings and never looked back.
