CHAFFEE, Mo. -- A new season started for Chaffee softball Tuesday, and with it a lengthy losing streak came to an end. For the first time in over a decade, the Red Devils beat Kelly in a battle of two of the premier small-school programs in Southeast Missouri...

Then there is the pure numbers game -- the Red Devils dressed just 16 players for their season-opening 20-0 win over Crystal City on Friday...
