Jonesboro-Hodge moved from the bottom to the upper echelon of District 1-1A play in both baseball and softball all in one day by the Tigers beating Arcadia 7-2 and 10-9 and the Lady Tigers hammering the Lady Hornets 14-1 on Monday and outlasting Lincoln-Prep 14-12 on Tuesday. With the victories JHHS moved to 7-2 overall and 2-1 in the 1-1A baseball standings while the JHHS girls improved to 2-1 in district play and 3-8 overall.
In the first game against Arcadia, the Tigers scored three in the home half of the first thanks to base hits by John LeBlanc, Cameron Foster, and Jhadarrious Bishop. JHHS added four more runs in the second innings after Marquies Baker was hit by a pitch, LeBlanc got his second hit in two at-bats, Jason Ayres walked, and Bishop got another single, each scoring one run. LeBlanc and Dakota Knox combined for the no-hit victory, with both striking out three batters each.

Weston 9 Claiborne Christian 3 (Monday): Doubles by Easton Borders and Kyptin Caskey led to a “six pack” of runs in the top of the fifth innings that broke open a 3-3 game. Drew Browing and Ty Henderson also hit “two baggers” on the day that accounted for four of the seven hits by Weston batters. Henderson grabbed the win after his superb 7-inning complete game effort, where he struck out 8.
Weston 15 PCA 0 (Tuesday): The Wolves surged to the top of District 1B with a 2-0 record by scoring 9 runs in the first inning and adding 6 more in the second to close out the contest via the “mercy rule”. The Wolves pounded out 13 hits led by two hits each by Drew Browing (HR, 3 RS, 3 RBI), Ty Henderson (2B, 2 RS, 2 RBI, SB), Liam Weaver (RS, RBI, SB), Easton Borders (3B, 2 RS, RBI), and Kyptin Caskey (2B, 2 RS, RBI). Jase Borders (3 RS, RBI), Dawson Griffin (RBI), and Beaux Oliver (2 RS, RBI), who was also the winning pitcher by throwing a no-hitter over the three innings, had a hit each.
Glenbrook 19 Lady Wolves 0 (Monday): It wasn’t as if the 3rd-ranked Division IV team among “select” schools needed any help in scoring runs, but the Lady Wolves did just that, committing a season worst 12 errors that accounted for 15 unearned runs, leading to the 4-inning “mercy rule” loss. Carly Jo Griffin and Tessa Reeves got the two Weston hits.
Lady Wolves 14 Castor 13 (Tuesday): Back-to-back doubles on consecutive pitches by Kate Keiffer and Rachel Bandy led to the tying and “walk-off” winning run for Weston in the District 1B opener for both teams. In the sloppily played contest that saw both teams combine for 24 errors, the late-game heroics helped Weston overcome a new-season worst of 15 errors. Keiffer, who ended with a new career high 5 RBI was also instrumental in helping Weston take a 5-1 lead in the second inning when she circled the bases for an inside-the-park grand slam that scored Molly Beaubouef, Davynee Bearden, and Carlynn Waters. Carly Jo Griffin also had two hits, including a triple, and scored 2 runs.
Quitman 15 Castor 0 (Tuesday) Zach Smudricks pitched a no-hitter, and Quitman exploded for 12 hits and 15 runs in the first inning, both new season bests for one inning to win their District 1B opener. Hudson Pullig (2 RS, 3RBI), Conner Moak (2 RS), and Smudricks (2 RBI) all had two hits in the big inning that saw QHS send 20 batters to the plate, including 8 straight before the first out was registered. Maddox Duck (2 RS, 2 RBI), Kace West (2B, 2 RS, RBI), Tucker Barnett (2 RS, 2 RBI), Asher Rhodes (2 RBI), Asher Schultz (RS, 2 RBI), and Ryder Gray all got a hit each. Cail King also scored two runs and had an RBI.
