East Carter has garnered the two top seeds in next week’s 62nd District Tournaments. Both the local softball and baseball events will be hosted by Morgan County and played in West Liberty.

The Baseball Raiders are looking to take back the trophy they lost in an upset last year to the Cougars. East (19-10) takes the field against No. 4 Elliott County next Monday, May 19, in the tournament’s 6 p.m. opener. West Carter, the No. 2 seed, challenges the hosts in the 8 p.m. nightcap.

The 62nd District Baseball Championship Game is slated for Wednesday, May 21, 7 p.m.

The Lady Raiders will try to repeat as champions in the 62nd District Softball Tournament, also starting next Monday night. The Top-seeded girls from Grayson play No. 4 Elliott County at 6 p.m. and No. 2 West Carter faces the hosting Lady Cougars, the third-seeded club, at 8 p.m.

The 62nd District Softball final will also be played on Wednesday, May 21, 7 p.m.

All of next week’s baseball and softball action can be heard on WUGO/WGOH Grayson Radio.
