Good teams will take advantage of errors and miscues by opponents and romp to victory, which is what happened to the Burnet High School softball team in an 11-4 loss to Salado March 25. “That just wasn’t us,” head coach Hailey Wooten said. “That’s not the way we play. Salado’s a great softball team. We’re not going to beat them by making mistakes and errors. It was a little bit of everything: not hitting, not making a throw, not catching the ball.” Wooten noted the miscues were contagious and it…

The Burnet High School baseball team lost to Taylor 10-2 on March 22. Bulldogs head coach Russell Houston commended the Ducks’ pitching and their ability to capitalize on opportunities. “They pitched really well,” he said. “And we made mistakes that really hurt us. They took full advantage of our mistakes.” Houston said the Burnet miscues were “errors on defense and mental mistakes.” “We didn’t make the right play when we needed to,” he said. As a result, Taylor plated three runs in the first inning. Burnet responded with two runs…

The Burnet High School softball team scored all the runs it needed in the second inning to beat Georgetown Gateway 7-3 March 22. The Lady Dawgs plated six runs. “Five runs came on two outs,” head coach Hailey Wooten said. “And then we scored another one late. It’s deflating for the other team, and hitting is contagious. Once they get started hitting, they go score runs.” The Lady Dawgs (17-3, 2-0 District 19-4A) recorded eight hits in the contest. Lanee McCurry led with 2 RBIs, while Maddie Moise had 1…
