P-T faces tournament action at Cushing
The Perkins-Tryon Lady Demons will play
their first tournament of the young fast,pitch
season this weekend at Cushing.
P-T won't begin pool play until Friday with a
pair of games. The first will be at 3 p.m. against
Pawhuska. That will be followed by a 7:30 p.m.
contest against Catoosa.
, Pool play will continue early Saturday after-
noon with a-pair consecutive games. The first
will be at 1 p.m. against Inola and the second at
2:30 against Oklahoma City John Marshall.
And depending on how the Lady Demons do
in pool action with determine if they play in a
4 p.m. or 5:30 p.m. game for third place or the
championship, respectively.
The Lady Demons opened the fall season
Tuesday hosting Bethany. Results were not
available at presstime.
P-T played in two scrimmages on the road
last week. The first was an eight-inning contest
at Crescent last Tuesday followed by the annual
scrimmage at Pawnee last Thursday. That one
lasted nine innings.
"As a whole, it was okay," head coach Carla
Hart said about the scrimmages. "We didn't
play terrible but we didn't play great."
In both scrimmages, the Lady Demons got
off to slow first inning starts and were forced
to play catchup for the remainder of the varsity
portion.
In the several practices the team has had
since beginning July 26, Hart said she's been
pleased with the team's effort. However, she
feels her young team needs to work on the
mental part of the game.
Hart termed it as "softball mental training"
covering leadership, attitude, and dealing with
pressure.
We are still excited about this season and
the potential this group of girls brings," Hart
said.
Next week, the Lady Demons will be on
the road for softball action. On Monday, P-T
will be in a round-robin at Meeker, which will
include Holdenville to begin 66 Conference
play. P-T's first game will be at 4 p.m.
P-T will be at Kellyville on Tuesday for
a varsity-JV doubleheader beginning at 4:30
p.m. The week will conclude with an appear-
ance at a tournament in Perry beginning next
Thursday.
The Lady Demons' next home game will be
Monday, Aug. 23, hosting the Cushing Lady
Tigers at 5 p:m.

Intrasquad scrimmage Saturday
By Rick Lomenick
Journal Sports Editor
The first week of foot-
ball practice for the Per-
kins-Tryon Demons will
culminate with the annual
intrasquad scrimmage
Saturday night at Mcllvain
Field.
Practice began under the
hot Oklahoma sun Tuesday
afternoon for P-T. Today
will be the final day the
Demons will be in shorts
and t-shirts as the squad
will put the pads on for
the first time on Friday for
some contact.
The intrasquad scrim-
mage will begin at 6 p.m.
Saturday and will give
Demon fans an opportu-
nity to get a glimpse of
this year's squad. The first
offense and defense will
see limited time on the
field those units will go
against the second group a
series each. Then the rest of
the scrimmage will put the
second groups against the
freshmen.
Following the scrim-
mage, head coach Lloyd
Wertman will then intro-
duce the players, manag-
ers, and coaching staff to
the crowd.
The team was able to get
the upcoming season on its
mind as the senior players
led team workouts on the
practice field last week.
Because of Oklahoma Sec-
ondary School Activities
Association rules, coaches
are not allowed to be on the
field with players during
such workouts. Coaches
were on the sidelines well
away from the drills the
team was going through.
Wertman said the first
week of practice would
be used to build on the
positives left from spring
practice and the summer
workouts. And the Demons
entered the preseason prac-
tices injury-free.
Last spring was the first
time P-T didn't participate
in a team camp at the end of
spring drills. Wertman said
the coaching staff voted not
to participate.
