Thinking Back Some of the seniors had a few comments about their playing days as an E.D. soft- ball player and what their teammates meant to them. I ' ve had my share of injuries and I ' m just glad that I was able to play again during my last year. said outfielder Liesel Smoyer. With all the hard work I ' ve put into Softball, it finally paid off for me. I would never have made it if it hadn ' t been for all my special friends on the team, stated third baseman Stephanie Richards. Softball was the biggest and the best part of my life at E.D. I wouldn ' t have been able to do it without my par- ents and friends to support me, replied pitcher Tammy Moore. Tm just glad that I had my friends there to help me through it all.
