Ottawa High School, 4-0, swept Spring Hill 6-3 and 13-12 in eight innings. Senior Greyson LaPlant starred with timely hits and defensive plays while Kaden Shaffer pitched the opener. Ottawa used untested arms in game two as walks and hits added pressure but rallies and errors helped seal the second win.
West Franklin juniors shine at Marais des Cygnes Valley Invitational led by Josh Napper who won the 100 and 200 meters and set a school record in the long jump at 19 feet 8.5 inches. The boys finish third with 92 points. Fallon Dyer highlights freshmen with silver in 200 and 400 and bronze in 1,600 relay.
West Franklin High School opened with a 3-1 record as pitchers dominated. Ethan Duda struck out 18 in the Lyndon opener, Owen Reed fanned nine in the second game, Colt Eckenreed had eight against Osage City, and Mitch Walters fanned seven in five innings. Reed drove in five runs, Will Duda swiped five bases, Tanner Fine hit for the cycle against Osage City, with four RBIs, and Clay Altice added three RBIs in that win.
Ottawa University softball dominated Southwestern 19 0 in the second game to complete a doubleheader sweep after a 2 0 win. Lydia Budke two run double sparked the opener while Cady Blevins, Budke and Catherine Wallace each had two hits. Morgan Shramek earned her eighth win as Ottawa moved to 17-8 overall and 4-2 in league play with a 5 p.m. game at Bethany.
Ottawa High School junior Kord Ferguson excels in shot put and discus with frame-by-frame video study and heavy weight-room work. He blasted 63 feet 6 inches in the Mill Valley Invitational, a top-10 state mark just 0.75 inches from Caleb Blakesley's 2005 record, then 60-7 at Ottawa Invitational before shattering a 30-year discus school record with 186-8, both meet records. Ferguson credits his coach Evan Shaffer, a history of big throws, and his own disciplined practice including Coach Eye video analysis to refine footwork and technique.
