Huntington drops pair
by Joey Martin - posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
Huntington School dropped its second straight District 6A East contest,

falling to Wilkinson County Christian Academy 7-2 Tuesday in Ferriday.

WCCA pitcher Sutton Olive, the son of Ram coach Ray Olive, held the

Hounds to three hits.

Jordan Jones doubled and singled for two of the Hounds' hits.

WCCA led Huntington 7-0 before the Hounds scored runs in the fifth and

sixth innings.

On Friday, Franklin Academy pitcher Christian Waller struck out 11

Huntington batters over six innings and allowed three hits as the

Cougars handed the Hounds their first district loss of the season, 9-2

in Winnsboro.

Caleb Haring closed the game in the seventh inning with three

strikeouts.

Huntington is 6-8 overall and 1-2 in district.

"We know we are in a situation we haven't been in for a while," said

Huntington coach Mitch Ashmore, who has led the Hounds to the state

championship finals the past three years. "It's disappointing, but the

kids are not going to quit and I know I am not going to quit. We're

just going to take it one game at a time and you never know what can

happen. Hopefully we can turn this thing around and get back in it."

The top two teams from District 6A East and District 6A West will

compete in the district tournament.

"We have to swing the bats better," Ashmore said. "If you make a couple

of mistake and don't make good pitches and can't score runs it makes it

tough."

Phillip Washington returned to the lineup for one at-bat as a

designated hitter Tuesday after injuring his finger in the first game

of the year.

"We've got a non-district game at Riverdale Friday and we're easing

Phillip back into the lineup," Ashmore said. "Getting him back should

give us a spark."

Huntington plays at Tensas Tuesday. The two teams will finish a game

that was suspended on March 10 with Huntington leading 4-1 after four

innings.
