Simpson Academy Girl’s Softball team heads to the final 4 on Monday, October 5, 2020 at 12 PM.
The team is one win away from playing for the Over all State Championship! Simpson will take on Hillcrest Academy at the Jimmy Clyde Sportsplex.
In Saturday’s games, Simpson defeated Magnolia Heights (#1 in the north) 3-1. Simpson played Silliman Institute at 4. The Cougars showed out and defeated the team 12-4. Silliman is located in Clinton, LA. Magnolia Heights is located in Senatobia, MS. Carson Smith (8th grade) pitched both winning games.
The young team (only one senior, Maddie Moody) stuck together and pushed through a few bad calls and team errors to advance to the Final 4.
