What they’re saying

“Braelyn has been stellar in the circle. She puts in a ton of work outside the softball season and it is evident in how she is playing. I also think having a veteran catcher in Isabelle Lehmkuhl behind the plate helps her confidence. The two of them are quite the duo.”

“Our season is off to a great start. We are meshing well and the girls are doing a nice job filling where we had open spots due to graduation.”
