Three Oaks took an early lead in the regular-season finale on Thursday evening but the Lady Falcons battled back to make a game of it before falling 7-5 to the Lady Choctaws at Three Oaks.

Three Oaks got on the board in the bottom of the first with an RBI triple by Braelyn Fowler to break the scoreless tie. Two batters later, Mattie Moore doubled in two more Lady Choctaws before scoring when Kilayna Roberts drew a bases-loaded walk to put Three Oaks on top 4-0 after one inning.

The Lady Choctaws tacked on a run in the bottom of the second on an RBI single from pitcher Ava Prince to take a 5-0 lead after two frames.

Lake County finally broke through in the top of the third. Landri Stewart reached on an error then Lainey Cism singled in a run. Bryleigh Walls then reached on an error to push another run across. A Johnson then reached on another Three Oaks miscue to cut the Lady Choctaw lead to 5-3 after two and a half innings.


Three Oaks got one of those runs back in the bottom of the fourth. Fowler singled then scored when Moore reached on an error to put Three Oaks back ahead 6-3 after four innings.

The Lady Choctaws picked up another insurance run in the bottom of the fifth when Larsen Parker led off with a single. She then scored later in the frame on a Robert groundout to put Three Oaks on top 7-3 heading into the sixth inning.

Lake County kept it interesting, getting an RBI single from Charlie Jo Hays and an RBI groundout by Stewart to cut Three Oaks’ lead to two with two outs. A fly out though ended the Lady Falcon threat and sealed the win for the Lady Choctaws.

Fowler had a triple and a single to lead the way for the Lady Choctaws at the plate. Chism’s two singles led Lake County’s offense.


Prince took the win in the circle, allowing five runs on five hits with six strikeouts. Stewart took the loss for the Lady Falcons.

Both teams will take part in the West Tennessee Athletic Conference Tournament which begins next week.

But, a late touchdown by the Trojans forced overtime where a special teams became the most important part of the game as the Choctaws blocked Dyersburg’s extra point attempt then were able to score and sophomore DC kicker Jotham Powell hit a PAT for the 35-34 win to open the season. The game marked the first career win for new Dyer County Head Coach Justin Dubruiel. It was also the first win by a Choctaw team at Dyersburg since 2007. “It was good,” Dubruiel said following the win. “It was good for our kids and good for Dyer County. “Whenever you can beat Dyersburg, it’s a fun night for everybody.” Trailing by a touchdown at the half, Dyer County was able to get a stop on defense, forcing a three-and-out. On the ensuing punt, Choctaw juni...

  Jason Peevyhouse JP Productions Sports Thanks to a stellar second half which saw the Trojans outscore Haywood 45-23, the Dyersburg boys will play for a region championship for the first time since 2004 after the black and gold’s 68-55 win over the Tomcats on Tuesday night in Newbern. "I think our kids were extremely engaged from the tip," Dyersburg Head Coach Blaine Mahaffey said. "I thought we rebounded well all night.  "And then, in the second half, when we were able to play a little bit better offensively, I think it showed up more." Trailing by nine at the break, the Trojans cut it to eight early in the second half but a three-pointer from Haywood put the Tomcats back up 35-24 with just over seven minutes left in the frame. Dyersburg went on a tear after a Breyden Turnage bucket was followed by a layup from AJ Higgins. This opened up four-minute stretch which saw the Trojans outscore Haywood 19-3 and was capped by a Jeff Cobb three-point play and tw...
