• Wildcats one win away from state tournament berth with sectional semifinal victory (news8000.com) — Independence/Gilmanton’s softball co-op fell 8–1 to Blair-Taylor on Tuesday, ending their run one step short of the sectional championship. Independence players still turned in solid efforts at the plate and on the bases, but Blair-Taylor’s strong pitching and early scoring proved too much in this WIAA postseason matchup.
