Home ›Kee softball team splits first two postseason games to have season ended; 16-0 win over Postville followed by 8-2 quarterfinal loss to Turkey Valley
The Kee softball team both began and ended its postseason journey within a couple days, the softball Hawks splitting their first two games in Class 1A Region 7 tournament play to have their 2019 campaign brought to a close in the quarterfinal round of their postseason path. The Lady Hawks first opened the tournament with a 16-0 rout of winless Postville in just three innings at home Monday, July 8 before suffering their first loss to Turkey Valley since the 2013 season, an 8-2 home defeat in the Class 1A Region 7 quarterfinals Wednesday, July 10.
That regional quarterfinals loss wraps up Kee’s softball season at an overall record of 22-18 that includes a 14-2 mark in Upper Iowa Conference (UIC) play that placed the Hawks second, just in front of Turkey Valley and its 11-5 UIC mark and behind the only team to beat the Hawks in UIC play this season, the 15-1 TigerHawks of North Fayette Valley. Turkey Valley’s defeat of the Hawks earned them a Friday, July 12 date at third-rated Clarksville in the Class 1A regional semifinals, where the Trojans had their 2019 season brought to a close with a 4-0 defeat.
