The Southeast Bulloch Yellow Jackets got a bit of a scare out of Haralson County in game one of the opening round of the state softball tournament, but pitcher Alana Barnard got tired of sweating out a 1-0 lead and launched a three run homer to give SEB a 4-0 win in game one, and the Jackets went on to take the nitecap 6-2 on the strength of two Delanie Thames home runs.“We knew this wouldn’t be your typical fifth seed coming in, and we knew after losing last year not to take anyone for granted,” said Southeast Bulloch coach Aimee Civalier. “We didn’t even look ahead to see who we may play in the send round, because we knew we had to focus on Haralson County. We played solid defensively, Alana pitched great, and we got the hits and runs when we needed to.”The Jackets were able to start the scoring in the second. A single by Leah ? was followed by a walk to Shylah Thames, and then a Mallory Lewis single loaded the bases.
