Three local teams in third shootout

Three local teams will be playing in the third Vandal Shootout of the summer next Monday and Tuesday at the various gyms in the Vandalia district.

Vandalia’s varsity and JV teams will be in action, along with St. Elmo/Brownstown in the 19-team event.

Schedules for each team follow.

Lady Vandals go 2-1 at shootout

VANDALIA – Though they were just exhibition games, incoming freshman Emma Meyer’s play suggested that something more was at stake at Tuesday’s Lady Vandal Shootout.

And that competitiveness is only going to make the Lady Vandals better once basketball season starts.

Meyer scored 35 points to lead Vandalia in scoring in a three-game shootout on Tuesday afternoon, leading the Lady Vandals to a 2-1 mark in the event.

Lady Vandals, alumni split doubleheader

VANDALIA – The Lady Vandals battled the alumni for the third time of the summer on Tuesday, and by splitting a doubleheader, each side now has a 3-3 record.

Megan Godoyo struck out 11 and the Lady Vandals scored in three different innings to take a 4-1 victory in the first game.

Kylie Sellers scored in both the first and third innings, while Brandy Protz also crossed the plate in the third and Gracie Morrison scored in the fourth.

Three local teams play in shootout

VANDALIA – Local teams provided plenty of excitement on the first day of the second Vandal shootout, as both St. Elmo and Patoka battled Vandalia to close results.

The Vandals needed overtime to beat Patoka, 45-43, in an afternoon game at Vandalia Junior High last Thursday, with rising senior Carson Smith knocking down a jumper on the first possession of the extra period.
