Lady Jaguars defeat Brookhaven

SUMMIT – The Brookhaven Lady Panthers fell to the North Pike Lady Jaguars 13-8 Friday night in fastpitch softball action.

We just have to move them across the plate,” said BHS coach Mandy Vinson. “We will be back at home Monday and we are looking forward to working on correcting a few things.”

With the loss, the Panthers are now 4-1 for the season.
