Kimball has been a boost at the plate for the Warriors in their quest for a turnaround season. Wheatmore won three of four games in a seven-day span.

That included two victories against Eastern Randolph in Piedmont Athletic Conference play and a non-league triumph at West Davidson.

Earlier this month, Kimball, a senior, had a hit in each game against Randleman. He homered in one of those two games.

The Warriors, who haven’t had a winning season since 2018, entered this week with a 5-5 overall record.

Booker is a senior starter on another Piedmont Athletic Conference championship team for the Tigers.

Booker, a guard, ranks third in scoring on the team with 8.4 points per game, hitting about 51 percent of her shots from the field. She’s second in rebounding at 5.0 per game.

She’s also in the top three for Randleman in steals and free-throw percentage.

The Tigers, who’ve eclipsed the 20-win mark for the second season in a row, finish the regular season this week. In the PAC Tournament, they’ll have a bye before a home semifinal game Feb. 15.

Booker was an All-PAC selection last spring in softball.
