Time spent at the state softball tournament is always a fun week. I run into a lot of long time friends from the ballpark. Tonight I’m reflecting on how many former players are giving back to the game and have gotten into coaching. These great women have become role models now.
We have added some new decor in the locker room representing our most recent All-Americans! 💪🏼🏆
Pretty cool to see

A huge congrats goes out to all the All-Americans represented on here!
I would just like to say how unbelievably proud I am of each person on this team. This is the first game I have ever played where I truly felt we were playing for the person next to us. Love your teammates and the game will love you back! Go Warriors Forever♥️
Congrats to Destiny Lewis who was named to the

Great competition for both teams today. Every single player told me thank you for holding the door open at the cage before the games & for letting them shower after the games.
There’s a reason your program is good year in and year out. Best of luck rest of way! Much respect 🤝
