Meet your conference co-champions
On July 2 Ogden’s Lady Bulldogs defeated Madrid in the second game of a softball double header to gain a share of the conference title. Ogden, Madrid and Des Moines Christian all finished with a 12-4 conference record. Ogden JV softball found success also, finishing 31-1 for the out-right championship.
This year’s varsity squad had a school record 23 hits versus Earlham in a 20-5 win the first part of June. They also had the highest team batting average (.349) in conference play over the last 11 years.
The Bulldogs showed dramatic improvement in several categories from last year to this year.

“All this and more equaled a very successful season,” said Coach Mike Moses.
