Poarch’s softball and baseball teams finished in the top three of their respective age divisions during the Native Youth Classic July 20-22 at Arrowhead Park.

All of the baseball teams finished in first place. The 8U, 10U, 12U and 18U girls tallied third place finishes. The 15U girls finished in second place.

Tournament Director Jake McGhee said the tournament went well.

“Everything went real smooth,” McGhee said. “On Saturday, when the rains came, we had to stop for four to five hours. Other than that, everything else went smooth, and we didn’t have any issues.”

McGhee added that all who attended the tournament said they enjoyed it.

“Hopefully, next year we’ll get more teams and more people in,” he said.
