The 2016 season came to an end in Flushing in District play Saturday.  The Dragons offense just couldn't get the timely hits when they had scoring opportunities early in the game, which proved to be the difference.  

Senior pitcher Madisen Henry's career came

In a game that they were expected to win, the Dragons did just that.  They were the home team and ended the game with no outs in the bottom of the 5th inning by the run rule on a walk off hit by Ella Sinclair.  Next up for the Dragons will be Kearsley at 11:30am Saturday at Flushing

On the final regular season games of the season, the Dragons split with Lapeer. They finished 18-20 during the regular season and in 3rd place in the Metro league at 8-6.  Next up for the Dragons, they'll head to Flushing for a pre-district game vs. Carman-Ainsworth.  From this point

The Dragons improved their overall record on the season to 17-19 after back to back shutouts of Powers Tuesday night.  Next up they'll travel to Lapeer for their final 2 games of the

The Dragons got 2 more victories Monday night in Flushing.  Neither game was close and the Flushing batters were no match for Madisen Henry.  Henry is expected to pitch the first game versus Powers tonight at Swartz Creek (4pm) with 256 strikeouts on the season.  The old Swartz

The Dragons were oh so close to winning their first tourney of the season on Senior Day at Swartz Creek.  They certainly are continuing to improve each week and are expecting to surprise some opponents in the post season.

The Dragons travelled to Goodrich Wednesday night for a non-conference double-header.  They were beaten earlier in the season by the Martians at the Lake Orion tourney on April 16th by a score of 12-2.  But, the Dragons have been working hard and improving all season long.  They

The Dragons continue to get better, sweeping Holly to even their Metro League record (6-6) and improve their overall record to 9-18.  Madisen Henry led the way again pitching both games (13 innings) and striking out 27 of the 39 batters she faced, while allowing just 6 hits.  She now

The Dragons traveled to Clio Monday night for another league double header.  They played two of their best games on the season with another great performance on the mound by Madisen Henry.  Henry tied the Dragons single season strikeout record last year with 155.  Now, every

The Dragons lost a couple of tough games to league foe Kearsley Tuesday night in Swartz Creek.  Madisen Henry pitched a couple of great games again, but the offense could not match her performance.  The defense played fairly well in the first game, although a few errors with 2 outs

The Dragons could only manage 2 hits in the opener against league foe Linden on Monday night. Creek had only one error and a few mental lapses.  Credit goes to Linden who made several outstanding catches on defense in the outfield throughout (both)

The Dragons went 1-2 Saturday at the Lake Orion Tournament, but continue to improve.  The defense is where the most progress is being made and hitting is expected to come around through the season as well.  Pitching has been solid all year.  The games had time limits, which

The Dragons actually played better than the scores suggests tonight at Swartz Creek.  There were a lot of positives and improvements with coaches trying players in different positions etc.  The Dragons also rested their senior captain pitcher Madisen Henry in the

Fenton 10  Swartz Creek 0

The Dragons struggled in the first game in pretty much every way possible.  Managing only 3 hits, while committing 4 errors and several mental mistakes.  There's no sugar coating it.  Madisen Henry pitched the entire game, which ended by

The Swartz Creek Dragons Varsity Softball team began their 2016 season on the road at Grand Blanc.  It was a good trip for the team who played a couple of pretty good games earning a spilt with the Bobcats.

The Dragons traveled to Lake Orion for a 3 game tourney on a beautiful sunny April day.  Swartz Creek coaches were very pleased with the efforts by the team winning 1 of 3, but a comeback in the 3rd game was shortened by a time limit.  It could have easily resulted in a second win

The Dragons played their league and home opener versus the defending Metro League Champion Fenton Tigers Thursday night.  And it looks like Fenton has a great chance to win it again this year.  Their strong hitting, fielding and pitching was too much for the Dragons to

The Swartz Creek Dragons opened their 2015 season on the road at Grand Blanc. The last several years these games between the two teams have been snowed out, so a little bit of wind with a dry field was greatly appreciated.

The Dragons travelled to Kearsley for a Flint Metro League double header.  It turned out to be probably the best game-day weather they've had this season.  The first game was a battle to the very end with Creek coming out on top, but the second game went the other way.  The

After being washed out of Saturday's games, the tournament was shortened to only play 3 pool games.  The games were shortened to 1 hour and 10 minutes with the longest game only going 5 innings.  The Dragons came out a little slow, but finished strong winning their final 2

The Dragons had a couple days off last week, prom on Saturday and a practice Sunday with team dinner.  They came out refreshed tonight taking both games at home versus Lapeer East.  The biggest difference was they got the offense going again.
