An Enterprise Staff Report
The Cawood Trojans might enjoy the realigned 52nd District next season.
The Trojans snapped a nine-game losing skid Monday with a 3-2 victory at Bell County.

Estep (2-2) earned the victory on the mound for the Trojans, striking out five and walking one while surrendering no earned runs.
Roy Britton suffered the loss for Bell.
Estep singled twice to lead Cawood. Sam Jenkins doubled, and Will Colinger, Turner and Billydean Shelton each singled.
