Ranked first in their district, the Aledo Lady Bearcats are making quite the campaign this season as they push full steam ahead towards the playoffs. The Lady Bearcats have played excellently both defensively and from the dish all season to stay at the top of their game no matter who they are facing.
The Lady Bearcats have lost only three games this season. Two of those games were non-district matches against Lake Ridge (9-3) and Coronado (9-4) while the other came in a close 5-4 district matchup against Granbury. Aledo has since faced Granbury and came out victorious. Sophomore pitcher, Nathalie Touchet tossed 15 strikeouts in the 9-2 win over the Pirates last week. Earlier in the season, Touchet pitched a 10-strikeout, no-hitter game against Wichita Falls for a 14-0 shut-out win.

With Touchet's pitching combined with junior Kayleigh Smith's stellar pitching, the Lady Bearcats have been able to show defensive strength all season. Smith tossed a perfect game against Wichita Falls in March with six strikeouts in a 10-0 win. The offense has also been shining with bombs all season from Smith, Touchet, Marissa Powell, Allison Mallard, and more!
