For the second consecutive week the Kee softball team was able to get its entire week of competition in, but not without a bit of a schedule adjustment due to weather. The Hawks had a Monday, June 22 home doubleheader with West Central pushed to Thursday, June 25 by rainy weather, ultimately earning a split of that home pair with an 8-6 loss in game one followed by a 15-11 victory in game two. Prior to that split, the Kee girls fell in a non-conference road game at Sumner-Fredericksburg by a 5-2 final result.

The Lady Hawks were next scheduled to host South Winneshiek Monday, June 29 before playing at North Fayette Valley Wednesday, July 1 and then at Postville Thursday, July 2. The Kee girls will then host MFL/MarMac Monday, July 6 before playing at Clayton Ridge Wednesday, July 8 and then hosting Riceville Thursday, July 9 prior to beginning postseason tournament play possibly as early as Monday, July 13 at a finalized assignment to be announced in the near future.
