The Lady Cats took on Pleasant. No score was reported.

They each have two more scrimmages scheduled before the start of the regular season.

The baseball regular season starts Saturday as the Wildcats will host Elgin with first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m.

The Lady Cats journey to River Valley on March 25 with a scheduled start time of 5 p.m.
