“Pink Day at the Ballpark is go-ing to be something great for our community, our school district and all of those involved,” Dutchmen head baseball coach Tim Nagel said. “I think it will be fun to see how much we can impact the com-munity and raise cancer awareness throughout our school and com-munity through this new event.”

Although it took over 23 years, Owens-ville Dutchgirl basketball has its second player to reach 1,000 career points and a new all-time scoring leader in the history of the program.
“In order to earn the success she has enjoyed, Kati (Davis) has really pushed herself on the court and in the classroom over the last four years,” Dutchgirl head basketball coach Dwayne Clingman said. “I could not be any more prouder of her and she is just one of those athletes that any coach would dream to be able to work with for any amount of time.”

Coming off a tough loss in three sets on the road last Tuesday at Pacific (14-25, 25-23 and 23-25), Gayle Hinch’s 7th Grade Dutchgirls were hoping a little home cook-ing would get them back on the winning track last Thursday against Hermann.
Needing only two sets, Owensville took the match and county bragging rights by scores of 25-13 and 25-16.
Trading points early in game one, Dutchgirl Madison Rowe took over serv-ing duties with an 8-5 lead. Recording five points in a row, including three aces, Rowe gave OMS a 13-5 lead midway through game one.
Continuing to trade points via errors, Owensville took a 21-13 lead with Savan-nah Ellis stepping behind the serving line.
Recording three straight aces, Ellis went on to serve out the final four points of game one in OMS’ 25-13 victory.
