The Wichita Northwest and Bishop Carroll boys provided an exciting match for tennis fans Monday, when the defending league co-champions faced off at Northwest.
Last year, Northwest went undefeated in City League duals, including a 5-4 victory over Carroll. However, Carroll prevailed at the league tournament and the squads shared the crown.
Northwest coach Mike Thomas said he knew that Monday’s contest would result in a 5-4 score, but he wasn’t sure if the Grizzlies would be on the winning or losing end. Sure enough, the final tally was 5-4, but Carroll edged Northwest this time. It makes for an interesting league race.
Another tough matchup occurred on the soccer field, where Maize and Kapaun Mt. Carmel battled for the Titan Classic championship Saturday at Wichita South. The Maize and Kapaun girls were state qualifiers last year, and although both teams sustained heavy losses to graduation, they appear to be as strong as ever.
That probably should come as no surprise since Maize and Kapaun each enjoy strong soccer traditions. The score was knotted 1-1 Saturday at the end of regulation and through two overtimes. Like last year, Maize lost the Titan Classic final in a shootout.
Finally, Winfield softball players had reason to celebrate March 30 when they snapped a 32-game losing streak. The Vikings split a doubleheader with Parsons to claim their first win since 2008. Parsons eked out a 3-2 victory in Game 1 on its home field. However, Winfield won the nightcap 8-0.
The Vikings followed up Tuesday by sweeping a doubleheader at Maize South. They will take a three-game winning streak into their April 13 home competition against Derby.
