The following day, traveling to Ozark, Gravette came home on the short end of a 1-8 game. On Thursday a trip to Farmington saw the Washington County girls take a 7-0 win, and last Friday Rogers Heritagecame to Pop Allum Park and went home with an 8-6 extra-inning win. Gravette had jumped to a 5-1 lead, but Heritage came back and forced the extra inning and then scored three runs in the eighth.
