COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Senior Abby Maynard has meant so much for our softball program. She has been so versatile and started and played well at so many positions. We will miss her great attitude for sure.”
“… Gracie Preece is a great leader by example with her super attitude and work ethic. She is a great hitter and tremendous third baseman . She always gets the big hit or makes a super play to stop rallies or end innings.”
“… Bree Jones will graduate as the all time hits leader at LCHS when the season ends. She is a very hard, dedicated player who always puts the team first. Her leadership this season has been so important to our young team. Bree will be a great coach one day and she leads by example.”
