The ladies were lead by Sophomore Allie Bianchi. Allie finished 1st overall, winning the tournament with her season best score of 77 this year. She is playing very well.

Lovejoy Baseball
The Lovejoy Baseball team currently sits in 4th place with a District record of 3-3. Unfortunately, we lost 2 hard fought games vs Forney last week. We played very well and made a couple of mistakes each game that cost us the game. Mason Marsh and Jacob Terwilliger were outstanding on the mound holding a very good Forney offense down for most of the games.
We will look to bounce back against Wylie 4-2 in district this week. We play Tuesday at home at 7:30 and head over to Wylie East Friday night at 7:30.
Please come out to the games and support the teams!
