The stadium was completed in March and has been a hot spot for our community ever since. Junior Laura Von Bargen said, “My sister took me to a game and it was smaller than I expected, but it was fun.” Junior Savannah Sommer added, “I can’t wait to go next summer and watch the game from right field; it seems really awesome.” The stadium really seemed to hit a home run with the students.

Junior Grace Tyler said, “We have to attend at least 12 workouts during the summer, it really helps!” Along with workouts, they have been practicing almost every day to prepare themselves to be the best they can be.
Although practice and workouts are challenging, the team had a well-deserved pool party at Senior Madison McKemie’s house. The girls engaged in some super fun games for team bonding and enjoyed some yummy food. The team bonding was a huge success and the team is closer than ever.
