Today after school, our High School Varsity Softball team selflessly chose to pay it forward, bestowing their expertise upon the grade school and middle school Lady Cardinals. The varsity players led empowering drills in pitching, tee work, outfield, and infield, igniting passion and skill in their younger counterparts. The middle schoolers even had the thrill of hitting off the machine in the cage, with Kylie, our manager and 8th-grade player, dispensing wisdom and guidance as she fed the machine. Witnessing these high schoolers pour their hearts into coaching and mentoring was truly uplifting, showcasing their deep love for the sport. Kudos to the parents of these remarkable young ladies who embody the spirit of giving back, and to the parents of the young athletes who received instruction with humility and enthusiasm. It's a GREAT day to be a Cardinal!!!

Last night's home game was a thrilling victory, with our team dominating Whitehall 10-0 in just 5 innings. Ruby Bartholomew delivered a stellar shutout performance on the mound, showcasing her skill and prowess, while also going 1-for-3 at the plate. Mariah Steffenson and Riley Malota also stood out, with Mariah batting 2-for-3 and driving in 4 runs, and Riley notching her first RBI of the season after overcoming a 2-week injury layoff. The Varsity team took a moment to celebrate Youth Night, honoring the future Lady Cards by marking each of Ruby's strikeouts with a K on the dugout wall, standing together with the varsity players during the national anthem, and sharing insights during the post-game meeting. A big thank you to everyone who attended, and we look forward to seeing you at the ball field on Monday, little Lady Cards!
