In 3 of their last 5 games have been 1 run losses. Tough luck for the Bobcats.

The top three teams are always at the top of SOC 1 as you can see by the records. Great coaching staffs are ND, Clay, and SV with their programs continuing to improve. We definitely see a strength of schedule by ND, Clay, and SV since half of their schedule is non-competitive unless they don't play some of their starters. The rest of the teams just beat on each other and are not competitive which is the problem with the small school division. Just don't have the talent. Many of the bottom 4 teams play double headers and get wins versus non-starters in the second game. They were just mercy ruled the first game or play a team that just decides to field their younger girls to build for the future playing a team with a losing record. This is the only way it helps larger successful programs and fill their schedule. It is tough when teams are getting mercy ruled most evenings unless they play teams who also struggle which shows when they are eliminated quickly in the tournament.

SOC 1 Teams - Tournament Games 5/13

(16) Whiteoak @ (1) Notre Dame
(9) Green @ (8) Belpre
(15) Trimble @ (2) Clay
(14) Paint Valley @ (3) Symmes Valley

(19) East, (18) New Boston and (17) Western all lost on Monday 5/10. Hopefully we can see all four teams come out with a win tonight.

[SE_Ohio_Athletics]

I would say the "cream of the crop" of SOC 1 will bring home to wins tonight. The only doubtful team is Green. Belpre won't play their JV so I am going to go with a W for the Eagles here.

[SoftballGirl]

Belpre mercies Green so they join East, New Boston and Western by finishing up their season in Sectionals. Notre Dame, Clay and Symmes Valley still remain. Will the 1, 2, and 3 seeds in the SE district pull out wins or will there be an upset.

5/18 (1) Notre Dame vs (8) Belpre
5/18 (2) Clay vs (7) Peebles
5/18 (3) Symmes Valley vs (6) Waterford

Notre Dame should continue their season with Belpre just being a bump in the road. Clay defeated Peebles in an early season scrimmage but that was two months ago. Have both teams gotten better? Can Symmes Valley out hit Waterford? SV has the better pitcher but Waterford might be the better hitting team. Should be a good game.

From the games I have seen out of all three SOC 1 teams, I would say ND and Clay will not have any problems moving on. SV will have their hands full with Waterford but I am sure that coaching staff will have them ready. Hopefully, the weather will not factor into any of these games since there is a chance of rain tomorrow.

Thanks. Got it fixed. Thats what copy and paste does for you.

[Real Time]

Claire Detwiller was 1st team all district and 2nd team all state but not POY in the SOC 1... How does that happen?

[Moses Guthrie]

Claire Detwiller was 1st team all district and 2nd team all state but not POY in the SOC 1... How does that happen?

It shouldn’t have. Claire’s not only the best player in the entire SOC 1, but she’s one of the best players in this part of the state, alongside a handful of other players like Moore, Perry, Eaton etc..
