Suffering the drawbacks of having a young and inexperienced team, the Cowgirls overcame and got into The Swing of Things The story of the McNeese Cowgirls’ 1985 softball season could not be measured so much in wins and losses, but in a growing youth movement that holds a bright future. A total of eight freshmen and six sophomores dotted the lineup in 1985 for coach Cheryl Manuel’s squad. The only experienced players on this year’s unit were two se- niors, second baseman Beth Rist and pitcher Scooter Thi- bodeaux. “In the beginning | knew we would be a young team,”’ said Realizing the pitch is too high, fresh- man Charamie Boynes of Chalmette lets it go by.
