Bartlesville slow pitch softball team is getting ready for the 6A State Tournament, which will take place in a few hours. The team, led by head coach Kyle Minton, will be facing Choctaw in the first round of the eight-team single-elimination tournament. Two senior players, Allie Scullawl and Chelsea Goddard, have been instrumental in leading the team deep into the postseason. Scullawl serves as Bartlesville’s everyday pitcher, while both players have excelled at the plate.
Bartlesville has been on a winning streak in recent weeks, particularly with impressive victories over Owasso in the Regional games leading up to the state tournament. Minton emphasizes the importance of maintaining consistency as the team moves forward to compete in the Final 8. He praises his senior leaders for their performance on the field and encourages them to continue leading by example.
