The Tusky Valley Trojans powered their way to a Division V East District Championship on May 21 shutting out Coshocton 10-0 in five innings at Gnadenhutten.

The game marked the first time in school history that Coshocton reached the district finals in girls softball. With no seniors on the 2026 squad, the future looks bright for the Lady Redskins next season.

Brennen Reichman dominated in the circle, tossing a no-hitter against the Lady Redskins in the run-rule victory. The Ohio State commit struck out nine. Reichman also led the offensive explosion at the plate, crushing a pair of home runs.

Tusky Valley turned the game into a home run showcase, belting six total homers and pounding out 14 hits. Ellie Wallick and JJ Wallace each connected for two home runs for the Trojans.

Tusky Valley advances to the regional semi-finals in Athens.
