![Recent action between the Fa’asao Marist Cougars (batting) and the Nu’uuli Voc-Tech Wildcats during this year’s ASHSAA Girls Softball League. At this time the Cougars are just below the Tafuna Warriors and Leone Lions in the standing, while the Wildcats are still at the bottom of the pack without any wins so far this season. Tomorrow, the Wildcats will take on the Faga’itua Vikings, as the Warriors will be facing the Lions in what should be the game of the week.
