One team did it with great pitching and defense. The other team did it by knocking the cover off the ball, with 13 base hits (including three home runs). But the bottom line is that District 1-4A champion Parkway and District 1-3A champion Benton will represent Bossier Parish in the state softball tournaments which get under way at Sulphur’s Frasch Park Friday. Junior Brooke Allison threw a five-hit shutout in Parkway’s 3-0 victory over Alexandria Senior High, with nine strikeouts and no walks. Allison also led the Lady Panthers in hitting with three hits in four trips to the plate, including a double. She drove in one run.
