The Kee softball team competed in one of its busiest stretches of this season’s schedule, playing 10 games in a six-day span and putting seven of those games in the win column for a current season record of 9-4. The Hawks opened the week with six straight wins to extend an early-season win streak to eight straight games, including doubleheader sweeps at Central Elkader, 4-0 and 12-0, Monday, June 1, and at home against New Hampton, 5-0 and 11-1 in six innings Tuesday, June 2, and Starmont, 8-0 and 12-0 in six innings Thursday, June 4. The Lady Hawks’ win streak was brought to an end at the two-day North Fayette Valley Tournament, where Kee suffered 4-1 losses to both Class 1A top-rated AGWSR and Class 4A ninth-rated Waverly-Shell Rock Friday, June 5 and then split two Saturday, June 6 games by falling to Class 4A West Delaware, 6-1, and defeating Class 3A Monticello, 16-9.
