Cougars off to state
Rain cancels Warden-River View game
WARDEN — The Warden Cougars baseball team’s game against River View on Saturday was canceled due to the heavy rainfall. Both teams are now headed to the state tournament this Saturday. The Cougars are 12-13 for the season, while Riverview is 18-8. “They’re excited,” said Cougars head coach Travis Visker. “We missed state by one game the past two seasons so there’s a lot of first-time players getting to go participate in state for the first time. I think the last time we made it our seniors were freshman at the time.” Saturday’s game was meant to determine tournament seeding for the two teams as they were both already guaranteed to make it into the state tournament. As the rain fell, officials and coaches determined it would be a hazard to continue play and opted to cancel the game. There will be no make-up game.
