Girls capture second place State berth The 1978 summer softball season proved to be as exciting, surprising, and rewarding as any softball season in Urbandale history, Coach Gary Page commented. After advancing to regional finals in October 1977, the Jayettes started the '78 summer season in rather shakey fashion and dropped seven of their first 17 games. Important factors were not evident in season statistics. Each player took upon himself to strive for maximum performance at all times. Competition for positions brought the team together and achieved a winning attitude to reach their goals. With a late season rush, the Jayettes claimed sectional and district tournament titles and finished as state runner-up to CIC opponent Ankeny. The season record ended at 30-9. Players named to all-state tournament team included Lori Johnson, Kellie Boals, and Jody Jenison. Jenison was named most valuable player in, the state tournament. State honors were given to Jenison, 1st team all state: and Shelle Fulton, 5th team. Ellen Pringnitz and Charlene Bagbey finished their last season of play. 1 Jayettes display their second place trophy at the State Tournament. 2 Summer Softball Team- FRONT ROW: Suzie Ryan, Vicky Miller, Ellen Pringnitz, Lori Johnson, Karen Anderson, Liz Hanian.

They lost to Norwalk in the district tournaments. Of the five losses, three came at the hands of state champion Ankeny. Juniors Suzi Ryan and Becky Fortune shared pitching duties.

Lori Page 03915, Vicki Miller 03845, and Jody Jenison 4.3733 led hitting statistics. Page topped RBI stats with 22.
