The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union released its postseason softball pairings and Greene County has been assigned to Class 3A Region 5. The Rams are by far the westernmost of the eight programs in that region. Coach Tom Kennedy’s Rams open up the postseason on Wednesday, July 10 in State Center vs. West Marshall at 7 p.m. on KG98 and streamed on www.raccoonvalleyradio.com. They met at the WM tournament earlier this month with the Trojans winning 5-4.

That winner goes farther east on Highway 30 to Mount Vernon to face either Mount Vernon or Nevada on July 12 at 7 p.m. The teams on the other side of the bracket are Roland-Story (Story City), Benton (Van Horne), Mid-Prairie (Wellman), and Solon. The Region 5 final is on July 15 on the home diamond of the highest ranked team. Solon is ranked in the 3A top 10 and Mount Vernon is in the top 15. None of the others teams are in the top 15 rankings from the IGHSAU.
