Sulphur bound

So we'll have Byrd in the Class 5A softball state tournament next week and Benton in the Class 4A tournament. After that, it will be area schools in smaller classifications as top-seeded Evangel didn't make it out of the second round.

Amazingly, Byrd, Benton and the rest of the Sulphur-bound teams are just getting to the hard part. There are still three games to be won over two days to win a state championship.

Still, anytime you make a state tournament it's a big deal. Congratulations to those teams.
