It was just over two months ago when the boys’ basketball team at Viola High School was crowned the Class 1A state champions. On Saturday, the baseball team added to its trophy case by beating Izard County 11-4 in Benton and successfully defending the most recent state title in 2019.
After the Cougars scored two runs in the top of the first inning, the Longhorns responded in the bottom half with five of their own. Viola continued to pull away through the fourth inning, and then both teams were held scoreless for the final three frames.
The Longhorns finish the season at 26-1. Izard County’s final record is 19-6.
