High school roundup: Notre Dame cruises to SoftballFest title

The Notre Dame softball team romped to the championship of its own Notre Dame SoftballFest on Saturday, run-ruling all three of its opponents in bracket play.

Notre Dame, which lost to graduation a significant portion of its roster from last season's state championship team, defeated Scott City 13-1 in five innings in the title game.

"We're playing well," Notre Dame coach Jeff Graviett said. "We lost a lot of people, but so far, so good."

The Bulldogs defeated Sikeston 17-1 in four innings in the quarterfinals before getting past Cobden, Ill., 12-1 in six innings in the semifinals.

Junior Katie Bond got the victory in all three games.

Brianne Sanders was 3 for 4, while Brandi Glastetter was 2 for 3 with a double in the title game.

Sophomore Macy Hall was 2 for 3 with two doubles for Scott City.

"It's our first goal coming in," Graviett said of winning the title. "Accomplishing the first one is always big, especially with a young team. You always want to win your own tournament."
