The Lady Buckaroos’ ride came to an end Saturday after a twogame series against the Merkel Lady Badgers in the area playoff. The Lady Badgers swept the Lady Bucks at Jim Ned High School in Tuscola to advance to the regional quarterfinals.

With the combined coaching of Robert Scott, Caleb Hagle, Karen Martinson and Kim Miller, and a high-level performance, four Woodson High School athletes are heading to the state meet. WHS will compete Saturday, May 14 at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin.

The Buckaroos opens their 2022 season in a big way last week with an 8-0 shutout victory at home over Haskell. Five pitchers combined for a no-hitter in the five-inning victory.

Flavio Davila started the game on the mound for the Buckaroos and threw two strikeouts to open the game. The second strikeout took only three pitches. Davila finished the top half of the inning forcing a ground out to first base.

The Buckaroos faced a team with a new coach, one freshman and four sophomores. Using suffocating defense in the first half and the 3-point-shot, the Buckaroos picked up their first win of the season Tuesday night, 62-56.
