Published 7:24 pm Friday, March 14, 2025

A few days off appears to have done Warren Central’s softball team a lot of good.

The Lady Vikes got back to work at the end of spring break and won two games at the Brookhaven tournament on Friday, 2-0 over Loyd Star and 13-0 against Bogue Chitto.

The two victories ran the Lady Vikes’ winning streak to three, after they only won once in the first eight games of the season.

Mari Kynlea Ferguson was the team’s big hitter, going 3-for-3 while scoring both runs.

Warren Central only had four hits against Loyd Star, but offense was much easier to come by against Bogue Chitto. WC rapped out eight hits to go along with four walks, and scored in all four innings to roll to the 13-0 victory.
