The Lakeview-fort Oglethorpe softball team extended its winning streak to 12-games on Friday, in a sweep over visiting Elbert County, 5-0, 6-1, in the Class AAA state playoffs.

The series puts them one step closer to winning a state state championship.

The Warriors, who finished runners-up last year, will travel to Columbus this week to compete in the Class AAA Elite Eight.

Head coach Tony Ellis said he is "is tickled to death to be going back."

"It feels good to be going," he said. "You can't win if you don't get there so we're just excited to be going. Who knows what will happen...We've been on a role. The pitching is there and the hitting is coming around so you never know."

Monica Vickery and Maddie Bray led the Warriors in the sweep. The diamond duo allowed only seven hits combined and struck 22 batters in two games.
