Isle of Wight Academy (19-1) begins independent schools state softball tournament play today at 4:30 p.m. by hosting No. 8 Southampton Academy in the Division III quarterfinals. The top-seeded Chargers won the Metro Athletic Conference regular-season title, then won the tournament on Saturday by beating Alliance Christian 2-1 in nine innings.
Metro co-Coach of the Year Jack Reynolds said that either Casey Mansfield or Casey West will pitch today for the Chargers.
Both girls earned all-Metro first-team honors. IWA is going for its fourth consecutive state title.
