The matchups are set as the Westview and Dresden softball teams compete in the state sectionals today.

Westview’s Lady Chargers (24-10) travel to Summertown in the Class AA bracket with first pitch at noon. The contest is a rematch of last year’s sectional game won by Summertown. Westview is runner-up from Region 6, while Summertown is the Region 5 champion.

In Class A action, the Dresden Lady Lions (18-4) play at Lakeland Prep near Memphis with a start time of 12:30 this afternoon. Dresden is runner-up from Region 7, and Lakeland Prep defeated Memphis Middle College to claim the Region 8 championship Thursday.
