– The Kent Bridge Huskies won the Lambton-Kent Ladies Softball Championship in dramatic fashion over the weekend. Kent Bridge defeated McArm Construction twice in the finals to win the league title. The Huskies won game one by a score of 4-3 and game two by a 3-1 score. Sarah Ytsma pitched the entire seven-inning final, allowing only three hits while striking out 14.
– The Chatham Maroons broke camp this weekend, ahead of the 2019-2020 GOJHL season. Head coach Kyle Makaric and staff have announced several signings over the last two weeks. Makaric tells CKSN.ca there are forward and defensive positions open. He says the club is looking to bring in a high skill level and competitive mindset. The Maroons have not filled their 16-year-old cards at this point.
