The Lady Mohawks hosted the Lady Bobcats of Corning on Tuesday, April 18, which was also senior night for Piggott. Emma Langley, Alyssa Manor and Grace Hooten were the seniors on this year’s team. They were presented after the game.

The Sun Senior Classic, played at Brookland High School gym and sponsored by Central Dealership, featured three Rector student athletes and two Piggott student athletes who played Sunday, April 23, playing for either the white or blue teams. Carly Rodden represented Rector and Grace Hooten represented Piggott on the girls’ blue team.

The Piggott Mohawks hosted a great game against the Marmaduke Greyhounds Thursday, April 20, overwhelming the Greyhounds by winning 11-1. Marmaduke scored their only run in the first inning, with the Mohawks making their first runs in the second inning with runs from Shawn-Hudson Seegraves, Lawson Tompkins and Ashton Lemmons making the score three to one.

Every ball field at Jeremy McDaniel Memorial Sports Complex was filled. Little t-ball teams, coach-pitch ball players along with their moms, dads, grandparents, siblings, and friends filled the stands. Other fans set up lawn chairs and playpens for the babies. Cheers, applause, mom’s yelling “run!” and coaches hollering above the fray to give instructions on base running and where to throw the ball played louder than any cheers on the high school Cougar and Lady Cougar fields.

Baseball season has definitely been a rainy season this year, as a few games were canceled or postponed due to wet conditions. The Mohawks started off slow in March losing to Gosnell and Corning and Osceola forfeiting the game on March 14. The game against Rector was cancelled on March 24 and the Tribe lost to Manila on March 27.
