Things are going extremely well for the Madison County Red Raiders’ softball team.

The ladies are 12-1 on the season and are holding onto the number two spot in the region with a 5-1 record.

Heritage holds the top seat being undefeated in region play after six games and 14-3 overall. That battle is ahead at the end of the month as Madison hosts Heritage on Sept. 21.

Before then, Madison County has several more fierce teams to face as well as two invitationals on the schedule. This week, the Red Raiders head to Columbus to compete in the Shaw Invitational Friday and Saturday.

First up in the tournament is Schley County on Friday. According to coach Doug Kesler, the Schley Wildcats have been a decent single-A team. Schley averages 4.1 runs per game and allows an average of 4.5. Madison County has averaged 8.5 runs scored per game, while allowing 1.5.

In addition, on Friday, the Madison County Red Raiders face the Shaw Raiders. Kesler said he didn’t know much about Shaw other than they have been strong in the past. Shaw averages 4.7 runs scored and 3.7 runs allowed.

The outcome of those two games will determine who Madison County faces on Saturday as the Red Raiders play three games. Start times were unavailable at press time for Friday’s games.
