    The past two seasons have seen the Oliver Springs Lady Bobcats accomplish a lot on the softball diamond. The Lady 'Cats have won two district titles and have advanced to the TSSAA's Class A sectionals.

    However, despite all their success, the Lady 'Cats could not beat Anderson County. In fact, in Matt Headden's 11 years of coaching the Lady 'Cats have never beaten the Lady Mavericks.

    That all changed Wednesday evening, however, as Oliver Springs cruised to an easy 8-1 victory over the Lady Mavericks.
