FORT SCOTT — Losing is something the Louisburg soccer team has never had to worry about when it came to Fort Scott. 
The Wildcats have not lost to the Tigers in the program’s history, but they found themselves in danger of breaking that streak Tuesday at Fort Scott. The Tigers rattled off two goals late in the first half after the Wildcats scored the game’s first tally in the opening minutes.
All that momentum was directly on the Tigers’ side.
“We just let down after we scored that first goal,” Louisburg senior Woody Watson said. “We just backed off a little and we can’t do that. We need to play hard the whole time.”
The scare, however, was short-lived as the Wildcats scored three unanswered goals for a 4-2 victory to give them their first win of the season. The Wildcats dominated the possession in the second half and Fort Scott had very few shots on goal.
The Wildcats also went into attack mode. Louisburg outshot Fort Scott 14-1 in the second half, and had numerous corner kicks.
“We definitely played better in the second half and we controlled possession more,” Louisburg coach Ben York said. “We made better passes and we were quicker to the ball. We definitely have to get better and not have that let down we had in the first half. We are still looking for some leadership out there, and hopefully we can find that soon.”
Four minutes into the game, the Wildcats struck first when senior Daniel Wilson got the ball inside the box and fed it to Watson for an easy goal to take the early lead.

OTTAWA — If there was anyone who was qualified to tell the Louisburg softball team about Iola, its opponent in the first round, it was Maria Hernandez. 
Hernandez, who was an assistant with Iola last season, is in her first season with the Lady Cats and she had her team as prepped as it possibly could be. She told them everything to expect and what kind of team the Fillies are.
It just wasn’t enough.
Louisburg saw its season come to a close Tuesday in a 4-0 loss to Iola in the first round of the Class 4A regional tournament in Ottawa. The Lady Cats managed just three hits and couldn’t put that big inning together. They finished their season with a 7-14 record.
The No. 2 seed Fillies took the lead in the bottom of the first inning when Leah Weir scored on a Molly Riebel base hit. Iola added another run in the second on three singles from Brandi Preston, Kylee McKamie and Alex Hill.
The Lady Cats tried to put together a rally in the third. Ashley Rose and Izzy Hastings each singled to lead off the inning, but Louisburg couldn’t scratch a run across. Cassie Hurst had the other Louisburg hit, which came in the first inning.

OTTAWA — The Louisburg baseball team had high hopes for the 2010 season and for good reason.  The Wildcats were coming off a trip to the state tournament a year ago and returned several of the players from that team. Expectations were high. Unfortunately, the Wildcats’ hopes for a repeat bid to state came to a screeching halt Tuesday in Ottawa. The No. 5 seed Wildcats fell to No. 4 Ottawa 11-1 in six innings during the first round of the Class 4A regional tournament and saw their season come to an end. Louisburg finished its season with a 7-14 record. “I think we are all very disappointed in the way the season unfolded,” Louisburg coach Jeff Lohse said. “Going into it, I had very high expectations. I thought our team played hard night in and night out, but we just didn’t get the job done this year.” The game was actually closer than what the score indicated as it was a tight contest into the fifth inning. Louisburg trailed just 2-1 at the time, but in the bottom of the fifth, Ottawa just blew the game open. The Cyclones scored five runs in the fifth and four more in the sixth to complete the run-rule victory. |
