Predators baseball team reaches if game of district tournament

   North Augusta – Derrick Quinn’s quote about the season his Fox Creek High School softball team had was succinct and to the point.

 

    “We had a very good season,” said the Predators veteran head coach.

 

    Fox Creek finished the season with an 18-7 record and reached the championship game of its district tournament in the AAA state playoffs before getting knocked off by Loris.

 

    The Predators were led by Ava Lindsay, who was named to the South Carolina Baseball Coaches Association AAA All-State team. She was also chosen to play in the North-South All-Star Game and was an All-Region 4-AAA selection as well.

 

    Lindsay batted .469 with 10 doubles, a triple, 29 runs batted in and 22 runs scored.

 

    Joining Lindsay on the All-Region team were Addison Woodward, Jordyn Grant, Jada Jennings, Addie Goff and Emma Widener.

 

    Woodward batted .364 with eight doubles, one triple, 13 runs and 13 RBI. Grant led the team in hitting with a .574 average. She had seven doubles, a triple, 21 runs and 13 RBI.

 

    Jennings batted 397 with five doubles, two triples, one homer, 23 RBI and 13 runs. Widener batted .350 with 28 runs and 16 RBI. Goff was the primary pitcher, working 79 innings and posting a 3.59 earned run average.

 

    FOX CREEK BASEBALL FALLS IN IF GAME

 

    The fox Creek baseball team reached the championship round of its district tournament and even took Waccamaw to an if game before finally falling.

 

    Fox Creek beat Marlboro County 4-1 in its opener before losing to Waccamaw 8-7. The Predators then had to face Marlboro County again and came away with a 7-2 triumph.

 

    Fox Creek pounded Waccamaw 15-4 in the first game. The second game took on a totally different look though as the Warriors came away with a 2-1 triumph. The Predators finished 20-8-1.

 

    The Predators hit .359 as a team

Lawson Lewis led the way with a .468 batting average, six doubles, four triples, four home runs, 24 runs batted in and 36 runs scored.

 

    Manny Abro ended up at .435 with 28 runs and 25 RBI. Quentin Cribbs hit .403 with three doubles, 26 runs and 19 RBI. Hayden James finished at .388 with five doubles, one home run, 28 runs and eight RBI.

 

    Will Frischmann hit .473 with eight doubles, two triples, one home run, 33 RBI and 20 runs.

 

    Will Fountain and Frischmann got the majority of the innings at pitcher, but the Predators had three others in Cameron Porter, Andrew Dorries, Jamar’re Peeples and Kale Williford who were in the teens in innigs pitched.

 

    Fountain worked 46 1/3 innings and had a 1.21 earned run average. Frischmann had a 2.3i ERA in 30 2/3 innings. Porter worked 18 2/3 (2.62), Dorries had a 3.98 ERA in 19 1/3 innings, Williford worked 14 innings with a 4.50 ERA, and Peeples had a 4.59 ERA in 10 2/3 innings.

Saluda Football Uses Spring To Build Depth

By Dennis Brunson • July 3, 2026
By Dennis Brunson hssr.com Associate Editor Saluda – The Saluda High School football team will have a good amount of experience returning for the 2026 season. The Tigers have six starters back on offense and eight on defense from a team that went 6-6 and reached the second round of the AA state playoffs. However, they didn’t get a lot of work in during spring practice because many of them were on the school’s baseball and track and field teams that made deep runs in the postseason. Saluda head coach Greg Woerner found a silver lining in that though. “We were only able to get eight days of spring practice in and made the most o it and got better learning the offense and defense and developing some depth with the younger guys,” said Woerner, who will be in his second season as head coach. “A lot of our returning starters were making playoff runs in baseball and track, so we got a good luck at our depth.” Saluda returns four players who were selected to the All-Region 2-AA team last year. They are rising junior placekicker Ericson Vasquez , senior running back Tristan Daniels, senior tight end Jahmeer Myers and junior defensive back Ceddion Springs . Vasquez was named the Region 2 Special Teams Player of the year. Woerner is hoping the Tigers can be productive in the month of July leading into the start of fall practice. “For the remainder of the summer we’re really just looking forward to continuing to get stronger but also focusing in more on football,” Woerner said. “We had a good June competing in 7-on-7s (competitions) and getting better at our passing game and pass defense. July will focus more on getting better at the whole game.” The Tigers completed their 7-on-7 competition in June. Their first scrimmage will be on August 6 at Woodland before coming home to scrimmage Gilbert on August 10. Saluda is scheduled to open its season on August 21 at home against Abbeville . The Tigers will be part of a new region in Region 4-AA. The region will include two old Region 2 foes in defending state champion Strom Thurmond and Pelion to go with American Leadership Academy , Orangeburg-Wilkinson and Silver Bluff . MILLER MARTIN SELECTED TO AA ALL-STATE SOFTBALL TEAM Sophomore pitcher Miller Martin , a key figure for Saluda’s AA state championship softball team, was selected to the AA All-State softball team announced by the South Carolina Association for Women’s Sports . Martin had a 15-3 win-loss record and struck out 248 batters in 139 2/3 innings while posting a 0.70 earned run average. At the plate, Martin had a .308 batting average with five home runs and 32 runs batted in. Martin was also named the Region 2 Co-Player of the Year. Martin was joined on the All-Region team by Amy Sorcia , Zoey Springs and Nyla Jordan . Tigers head coach Hannah Towery said the program’s first ever state title sets a precedent for the future. “Future players will walk on to that field knowing a championship can be achieved because this team proved it,” said Towery, who guided Saluda to a 29-3 record. “The banner will hang, the trophy will be displayed, and the record books will always show who did it first. “History remembers champions, but it especially remembers those who paved the way. This team just didn’t win a state championship – they built a legacy.”
