COACH’S COMMENTS
“… It was a fun and exciting day. Both games were played error free from the 15th region players and Natalie, along with Ciana played a major role in the success of the team. To beat the 16th and the 13th was a great accomplishment. This was the first time that the 15th region won The Southeast showcase.”

“… It was very bittersweet. I was excited to put on the Lawrence County uniform again but a little sad that this would be my last softball game ever and I wouldn’t be playing with my Lawrence Co girls. Putting on the uniform one last time really set it in stone that after I took it off I would officially be a “has been.”
