May 8—SALEM, S. D. — McCook Central/Montrose is on the rise in the Class B softball standings.
It's been a steady climb for the Fighting Cougars, who are now in their third year as a program and own the best win percentage of any Class B squad with an 11-2 start to the season. MCM's progress was tested Thursday with a road game at Hanson, another top team in Class B. Though the Fighting Cougars fell behind 10-5 entering the sixth inning, a massive rally catapulted them to a 17-10 victory.
It was the first time in the program's brief history that MCM beat Hanson, having lost each of the first two seasons by a combined score of 27-8. The result also vaulted MCM into the No. 2 slot in the Class B seed-point standings, behind only perennial power Castlewood.
