Saint Jo teams struggle to start district
Saint Jo baseball
The Saint Jo Panthers had a rough game at Alvord on Tuesday night.
The Bulldogs won 21-0, with the game lasting three and half innings due to run rule.
The Panthers knew it would be tough playing a 2A school, but the game started out bad.
Alvord scored 11 runs in the first inning, seven in the second inning and three in the third inning. While the Bulldogs put up 14 hits, Saint Jo gave up seven walks, hit eight batters and the committed five fielding errors.
On offense, the Panthers had two hits with Amzy Barclay and Trent Gaston hitting singles. The team drew three walks and was hit by two pitches to get some base runners, but could not score.

The Saint Jo Lady Panthers let Collinsville get away from them on Tuesday in their district home opener.
The Lady Pirates won 21-6 after six innings due to run-rule, with Collinsville pulling away with 10 runs in the sixth inning.
Saint Jo was hoping its extra practice time following a nice win to open the season would pay off and for most of the game.
Despite playing a 2A team, the Lady Panthers were within range for most of the game.
Collinsville got out front in the first inning with five runs and then added three more in the second to go up 8-0. Saint Jo answered in the same inning with its bats.
Aubrey Morman drove in a run with a single followed by a two RBI triple from Krista Reeves. Reeves would later score on the base paths as Saint Jo cut the Lady Pirates lead in half 8-4.
The third and fourth innings went by with no runs coming across home plate for either team.
Collinsville added three runs in the fifth inning with two RBI singles and wild pitch allowing a runner to score.
With the Lady Pirates up 11-6 entering the sixth inning, Saint Jo then had one of the dreaded innings from hell on defense as it allowed 10 runs.
Down 21-4, the Lady Panthers would need to score eight runs to avoid the game from ending one inning early.
Saint Jo tried. Maxey Johnson and Reagan Wilson had back-to-back RBI doubles to add two runs to the Lady Panthers total. Unfortunately, the run of offensive success ended quickly and the game followed.
Collinsville won 21-6.

The full week of Jim Bowie Days Celebrations started on Saturday with the bass tournament at Lake Amon G. Carter.
The bass tournament was the start of the day and had 23 teams compete. By the time of weigh-ins, 14 teams brought in fish to be weighed.
The overall winner was the team of Rick and Cody Green. The pair had a total of 11.58 pounds to take first place. It all came from one fish as well, so they also took home first place for the big bass award.
They finished just ahead of the team Casey and Jimmy Smith, whose one fish was just a bit lighter at 11.50 pounds in both total and big bass competitions.
It was extra special for the Greens since the team had finished second the previous year, beaten by the Smith team who were seeking their third straight first place title at the JBD Bass Tournament.
Third place went to the team of Doug Covington and Melanie Mack. They tied with three other teams with the most caught fish, ending the day with four caught. Their total was just short as well, weighing in at 11.48 pounds. Their biggest fish caught at 6.81 pounds was also the third biggest caught of the day.
