Camas Valley Hornets Softball 1-2 Santiam Christian

A single run proved to be the difference as Camas Valley dropped a narrow 2-1 softball decision to Country Christian / North Clackamas Christian at home Friday afternoon. The Miners fought hard in their home opener but couldn't quite generate enough offense against the visiting squad.

The non-league contest was a pitcher's duel throughout, with both teams struggling to string together hits. Camas Valley managed to scratch across one run but left runners in scoring position at key moments that could have changed the outcome.

The loss evens the Miners' early season record at 1-1 as they continue to find their rhythm in these opening weeks of the 2026 spring campaign. Despite the setback, there were positive signs for a young Camas Valley squad that showed they can compete with quality opponents.

The Miners will look to bounce back quickly as they prepare for their next contest. With league play still ahead, these early non-league games provide valuable experience as the team works to establish its identity for the season.
