It was a very big day for softball last Wednesday as Dodge hosted Lamar County in a best of three series that would have a trip to Columbus on the line. The game featured teams that had pitchers that will be at division one schools next year. Lamar featured Lexy Head that will be going to Campbell next year. Dodge had Haley Holloway that will be pitching at Jacksonville next season. The day would belong to the Lady Indians. They overcame some early game jitters to take a 6-5 win. Holloway took control in game two, as she pitched a no hitter as Dodge grabbed an 8-0 win. [Full Story »]

In a riveting game for fans, the Dodge County High School Indians football team beat the East Laurens High School Falcons 50-7.
Every play in the game was in the favor of the Indians except the last play, which was the only time that the Falcons added points to their side of the scoreboard.
The first point-scoring play occurred with 8:24 left in the first quarter, when Nick Cummings ran the ball for a touchdown, followed by a successful attempt at a point after touchdown (PAT) by Peyton Bush. The score became 7-0.
Very soon after, with 7:36 left on the clock, R.J. Carr ran the ball and scored another touchdown for Dodge. Bush’s PAT was good again, so the score rose to 14-0. [Full Story »]

As expected, the region championship came down to Dodge and Bleckley County. The Lady Indians rose to the occasion as they beat Bleckley County twice and East Laurens to take the region softball championship last week in Dublin. Dodge will now host Early County Wednesday (today) in a double header in their best of three series. Game time for game one is 2:00 p.m. [Full Story »]

The second quarter saw twice as many scores from the Indians, the first of which took place with 6:56 left in the quarter.
