COACH’S COMMENTS
“… On Wednesday we ran the bases pretty well to apply a little pressure on Coal Grove defensively and added some timely hits in there. Coach Rice has a good squad led by pitcher Abby Deeds, who is a player. Good to visit Coal Grove as Coach Rice is a mentor of mine.”
“… On Thursday Our 3 seniors all with home runs in the 1st inning. Jaylee Maxie had a big game, and we are all very excited for her. Lineup swung it well with 20 hits in 3 innings. Look to stay hot as we travel to Myrtle Beach for a tough spring break schedule.”
