Edmonson Voice Sports:
ECHS Varsity Softball pitcher, fresh off of her 12 inning performance in the regional tournament, went with her travel softball team, WK Wildfire, to Newburgh, IN to compete this last weekend.  WK Wildfire is a team made up of players from Edmonson, Ohio, Logan, and Muhlenberg in Kentucky and Clarksville, TN.  Wildfire is a 16u team playing in the 18u or High School division against some teams that have graduated seniors on them.

Wildfire ended up winning a rain shortened two day tournament after strong hitting from every player and Julie Norris pitching two complete games of the five, time-limited games.

Norris finished the tournament with 5 Ks in 9 total innings, allowing only 1 ER for the tournament for an ERA of .778.  Both of her games were wins.  Wildfire was the only team in the tournament bracket that was undefeated in tournament play when the storms opened up and ruined the fields.  When it was determined that the tournament couldn't continue, Wildfire was awarded the championship for the Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois tournament.  

Wildfire plays next weekend in Greenville, KY and will be taking ECHS freshman Kylee Williams to play with them.  If you want to find out more about WK Wildfire or follow Julie, WK Wildfire is located on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/wkwildfire
