Lakota West Jr. High Softball

05/07/2026

With our season concluded, we would like to wish the best to our 8th grade players as they move on to high school and continue to chase their softball dreams! Over the last two seasons, these young ladies have been major contributors to a combined 2 year record of 29-6! This season they showed great leadership on and off the field, making all of the coaches, parents and all associated with the program extremely proud of them!

Great job Brooklyn Simms, Avery Twyman, Lindsey Binder, Brooklyn Small, Hayden Howard & Mia Bennett!"

We see you #18. Proud of you!

Every few years the Lakota West Junior High softball team - which consists of students from Ridge and Plains - has a 6th grader who is talented enough to hang with the older kids and make the team. Maria has been that talent this year… so much so that her coach reached out to ensure she got a shoutout on the morning announcements. Way to go, girl!! 🎉🥎👏

These ladies continue to show up every night ready to go while being the best teammates! Quinn Riesenbeck and Brooklyn Simms each tallied 4 hits while Brooklyn Small, Annabelle Blank and Lindsey Binder each had 3 hits.
Great night ladies, let's keep it rolling against Springboro next!

The girls found a way to get it done last night beating Little Miami 7th grade 6-5 to improve to a 4-0 record.

They entered the bottom of the 7th trailing 5-3 and responded by scoring 3 runs to walk off Little Miami. With a tie game, Lindsey Binder drew a bases loaded walk to bring home the winning run. Quinn Risenbeck had a monster day at the plate with 3 doubles to lead the offense! Hayden Howard and Maria Asman each added two hits while Annabelle Blank and Evie Parker pitched great only allowing 3 earned runs over the 7 innings of play.
Great team effort last night, let's keep it going ladies!
This is Firebird weather!
