Ridge View girls power past Westwood 8-5

Ridge View got home runs from three different players on Wednesday, as they advanced past Westwood in the first round of the Western Valley Conference softball tournament at Galva. The Raptors built an 8-2 lead after six innings, but the Rebels wouldn’t go away quietly, as they scored three runs in the seventh inning to pull within 8-5. That was as close as they would get, however, and Ridge View secured the first round win. The Raptors offensive attack was led by Emma Vohs, who blasted her seventh home run of the season, as well as belting two doubles, and drove in three runs.
