A JOB WELL DONE The Lady Warriors Softball Team had an out- standing season with a record of 12-6. The 1981 Warriors were coached by Miss Pat Yates. The team was lead by two Senior co-captains Ka- ren Spencer and Ann Chepley. There were nine Seniors on the team along with three under- classmen who will be rebuilding next year for the softball Warriors. Spencer was the out- standing pitcher while Sedabres sparked the offense. The Lady Warriors beat Roxana, Cahokia, and Belleville West to take second in the Caho- kia tournament. The Warriors also placed sec- ond in the Gateway East Conference. Nita Graham said, We had a really good and winning season with all the team members working real hard. With all the effort that was given, we came out ahead. Miss Pat Yates commented, “Next year will be a rebuilding season.” Even though fast pitch softball is not as popu- lar as soccer or football, these girls put a lot of time into the sport. In Edwardsville the sport has been played for a long time compared to the amount in Granite. When Granite played Ed- wardsville, they beat them 3 to 1 and 13 to 5. So this statistic proves that this softball team has much talent. Kathy Juhasz stated, I really like to play fast pitch softball because we get the chance to steal bases. The 1982 softball team will be very interesting since most of the girls graduated. Miss Yates said, Next year will be a rebuilding season. We will have three girls coming back Kim Ross, Vicky and Dottie Smith. Hopefully we will have many girls out for the season.
