Lowry softball rolls past Hug, North Valleys

The constant schedule changes and not knowing where you are going to play on a given day hit the Lowry High School softball team this past weekend.

The Lady Bucks were scheduled to be in Reno on Friday and Saturday but those plans were scrapped and the games were moved to Churchill County High School in Fallon.

Lowry was originally set to play Hug on Saturday but that contest was moved to Friday and the Lady Bucks had little trouble with the Hawks, winning 20-2. 

Lowry was back in Fallon on Saturday and beat North Valleys 8-0, in a game originally scheduled for Friday. 

The Lady Bucks improved to 7-1 on the season and are 4-0 against the Northern 3A West.
