Several fall sports seasons came to an end this week and two champions were crowned in middle school athletics. This week’s Mid-State Toyota “Athletes of the Week” are the SAMS Comets’ football team and the UMS Lady Timberwolves softball teams.
The SAMS Comets dominated their football competition all season long and ended up finishing the regular season a perfect 7-0. They claimed the regular season championship and then put their undefeated season on the line in the championship game of “Super Tuesday” against the RMS Tigers. The Comets defeated the Tigers 21-6 in the championship game to finish the season a perfect 8-0.
The UMS Lady Timberwolves softball team was one of the top teams in the middle school conference all season. They finished the regular season 11-3 and earned the third seed for the conference tournament this past week. With the first round rained out on Monday, the Timberwolves were guaranteed a spot in the tournament semifinals where they defeated the second seeded NERMS Huskies 5-4. UMS would take on SERMS in the finals and earned a 11-1 win in six innings on Thursday to claim the middle school softball tournament championship.
Congratulations to these two teams on being named the Mid-State Toyota “Athletes of the Week”!
