The Trojans had practice scheduled on Thursday in anticipation of Saturday’s game against New Franklin. Instead, the Bulldogs showed up at Community R6’s gym ahead of schedule. It was not unannounced, just a bit of short notice. “The girls did not know til about noon we were going to play New Franklin today,” said head coach Bob Curtis. But little seems to ruffle this season’s squad. Community brushed off the Bulldogs 50-31 to run their record to 19-1 a few days after topping Cairo.

Before coaches began calling the shots it was the catcher who made decisions. They were field generals, the players who knew where to position teammates and what pitch to call.
It’s no wonder Emmi Johnson played the position for Community R6 – and that she will continue her softball career at one of the most rigorous academic institutions.
Beamer on target as Trojans knock off Pilot Grove Published by admin on Wed, 02/10/2021 - 11:10am

It seemed as if nothing could stop Brianna Beamer. That point was hammered home to Pilot Grove again and again on Friday as the Community R6 forward scored 29 on the way to a 71-41 home win.
Beamer and the Trojans jumped out to a convincing lead in the early going, but the visitors began to come to life in the second quarter.
“We did not protect the rim very well in transition early in the game,” head coach Bob Curtis said.
No matter. Beamer – joined by Alexis Welch with 14 and Sarah Angel, who knocked down 13 – kept the tap running. A big third quarter surge silenced Pilot Grove for good, leading in an anti-climatic final period.

Three Trojans finished in double-digits. Sarah Angel was her usual pesky self on defense, recording 4 steals. As a team, Community R6 was almost flawless from the line, converting 18 of 24 attempts.
