The results from the Grand River Conference finalized matchups for “Crossover Thursday” on September 30th, when GRC Western Division teams travel to play their Eastern Division counterparts, with the matchups determined by order of finish in divisional play. With only 15 GRC schools playing softball this fall, one school would be left out of the proceedings as the 8th place finisher in the GRC’s Eastern Division. That school is Trenton, who now has a rare Thursday off.
South Harrison will host the 2021 Grand River Conference championship game at 5:30 on Thursday night, with the GRC West champion North Andrew Lady Cardinals traveling to Bethany. Other games to be played are : Albany at Princeton, Worth County at Gallatin, King City at Maysville, Stanberry at Milan, North Harrison at Polo, and Pattonsburg at Putnam County.
