Softball games set

Readers may find out about these games after the fact due to the Thursday publishing date of the Ledger, but Thompson Falls was set to host Sandpoint for an off-season softball doubleheader Wednesday night at 6 p.m.

Lady Hawk high school coach Jared Koskela, who will guide the Thompson Falls girls for these summer games, says he and his team will then return the favor in two weeks by going to Sandpoint for another pair of games.

Koskela said that due to limited availability of Lady Hawk high school players, several Plains-Hot Springs Trotters and several Falls seventh and eighth graders will also be playing (or played) for him Wednesday.

“We hope to pick up more games like these in the coming summers,” he said Monday, “but it should be fun. Having both middle school and high school kids playing will make it interesting. We will probably mix it up some to make sure everyone gets some action.”
