Madison County softball girls ready for the big dance

Dani Lukas, starting pitcher of all three games, leads the
MC hitting attack with 6 total hits.
I'm not sure how good Coach Rodney Rogers can dance but if his Madison County All-Star senior girls win tomorrow night, we might just find out. Win just one of two games on Wednesday night in Monroe and the Madison County girls will be State Champions. They enter game 4 of the tournament fresh off wins over Western of Macon, West Point, and Oglethorpe County. Madison County will face Pioneer of Columbus, who bounced Oglethorpe tonight, in Wednesday's title game.
Madison County has outscored their opponents 36-7 in the three games, two of which ended in the 5 inning run rule.
Dani Lukas, Kayla Argo, and Tatum Harris have all contributed on the mound. Lukas has collected 6 total hits followed by 4 each from Brianna Morgan, Elizabeth Stoyle, Kayla Argo, and KC Wade.
Madison County and Pioneer will square off at 6:00 tomorrow night at Criswell Park in Monroe, Georgia. Pioneer enters with one loss and will need to defeat Madison County twice to claim the championship.
