EAGLE INFIELDERS…St. John High softball team infielder Taylor Landry helped boost their club’s unbeaten record in District 8-1A play last week. Taylor, reportedly, was injured during the week and the senior could be out for the remainder of the season.

St. John High’s girls boosted their softball season record to an impressive 20-3 and their District 8-A mark to 7-0 last Thursday with a 21-1 victory over parish/league rival White Castle High.

Combined with a pair of routing wins over East Iberville the Lady Eagles won three league games in a row and averaged over a dozen runs a contest in doing so.
