Flagstaff And Coconino Both Lose In 4A State Softball Action, Will Face Each Other Thursday In An Elimination Game

They move into the elimination bracket, where they will face seventh-seeded Coconino, who fell last night to second-seed Greenway 6-2. The Demons scored four runs in the fourth and two in the six, and kept Coconino off the scoreboard until the seventh inning, to get the win. Coconino will host Flagstaff Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. The winner will take on the loser of Paradise Honors and Greenway next Tuesday at the Papago Softball Complex in Phoenix at 5:30 p.m.
