Please welcome outfielders Brittany Hendricks and Angelin Barker to the NRCC Lady Knights softball team!

On Sunday, April 5, the Lady Knights softball team opened its first home game of the season.  Due to rain, earlier games have been rescheduled. 

Although our Lady Knights didn’t win this past Sunday against Ferrum JV, New River got its first run of the season by Sherri Philpott.

The team spirit between the Ferrum players was an inspiration to the New River team.

We play Ferrum JV again on their home field at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 15.

LET’S GO KNIGHTS!

Knights baseball won the first game of a double header 5-1 with conference foe Southside, with a complete game 2 hitter by Mark Khoury. Third basemen Matt Saunders was 2-3 with a home run and 3 RBIs. Left Fielder Matt McCue was also 2-3 with an RBI.

Knights baseball lost the second game Sunday against Southside 8-5. Chris Lineberry took the loss for the Knights. Andy Singleton and Chris Lineberry were 2-3 each with 2 doubles. The Knights rallied for 3 in the final inning but came up short.

NRCC’s Lady Knights took on Surry Knights at Fisher River Park in North Carolina on Sunday, March 22. The Lady Knights had the first game “nervous bug,” but after the no-score on the first game, they were  ready to give it their all in the second game. 

During the second game, Coach Allen switched the line up. Sherri Philpott, the catcher, was sent to the pitcher’s mound and the first baseman, Amanda Price, was moved to the catcher’s position.  Coach said, “My girls started getting their head in the game after we changed the line up.” 

Philpott was nervous to throw her first pitch ever in a game, but she struck out a Surry Knight! Go Sherri! 

The team learned their strengths and also what they need to work on.  Unfortunately, the Lady Knights never scored against Surry. However, they found out they could make it to base. Coach Allen says, “Now they just have to work on bringing those girls in to home base.”

Coach Allen hopes to have a big turn-around when they play Surry again at home this coming Sunday.
