For the second time in the last three seasons, the Twin Cedars Softball Squad is on the doorstep of the State Tournament. Two years ago, the Sabers fell to Wayne when most of the players on the team were just freshmen and sophomores. Now, two years later, the class 1A #7 Sabers have another shot at getting to Fort Dodge. Standing in their way is #11 Sigourney. While this may be Twin Cedars’ most difficult opponent to date, Coach Zack Dunkin is confident his team will find the experience they need to draw on playing in the regional final, and playing at home…

Dunkin: “Have confidence in the preparation they’ve had the last four years, and the experience. What I’ve seen over the course of the season is that they’re comfortable with it and I don’t expect anything different.”

The Savages will bring a flamethrower in Carly Goodwin, who has 250 strikeouts on the season and has a 0.41 ERA. Twin Cedars is looking for its first state softball tournament bid since 1978. First pitch is scheduled for 7:00.
