SOFTBALL Py FO Swinging ¢: Young Ladies Once again, the Lady Patriots Softball Team had a very successful season. Coach David Carey used his coaching ability to carry on a winning tradition at Southwest. Prospects for the year looked excellent as the outstanding young athletes romped over their first few op- ponents. But what else should have been expected from a team with such talent as this one? They became City Champions, and placed third in the region 4AAAA. With many of the young ladies returning next year, Southwest can look forward to another winning season.
