COACH’S COMMENTS
“… All-Stars is special. You get to take your hometown kids to the biggest stage in the Ohio Valley. The best part about it is the community support. We have so many people backing us and helping our team reach their goal. Without them we couldn’t do what we do.”
“… I would like to thank my coaches for all the hard work and dedication you have put in this season. I would also like to thank my Parents for always being all in for the last month. It’s a mad dash to get everything ready in just a few short weeks but you all made it so easy. I would also like to thank Our League for giving us the opportunity.”
“… We had two very close games against Prairie Village and JC Black on Saturday. Our bats were hot all weekend. Infield was tough and did a great job of keeping the ball in front of them. Our outfield did a great job of getting the ball in quick and making the right play.”
“ Lawrence County Softball is growing and Im thankful to be a part of it.”
