Madison County is home to several talented athletes who play their sport outside of school. Erin Burnett, Alden and Logan Bass are no exception. While playing softball on the Pines Thompson 18 and under team, they assisted in earning second place at the North Florida State Championship on Sunday, May 21. The tournament took place in Lake City, where the girls played for a total of 26 hours. On Saturday, May 20, a nail-biter turned into a close victory for the Pines, with Alden Bass holding it down on the mound, tallying 11 strikeouts for the game. Logan Bass and Burnett both aided the team in hits and lock-down defense. After several games against stellar competition, the team left as runner-ups in the State Championship.
