🔥 Fundraising Spotlight 🔥 Shoutout to our very own freshman, Gracelynn York, for going above and beyond as our top sub fundraiser! 👏 Grace sold an incredible 253 subs, including 55 that were generously donated. But she didn’t stop there — she personally donated 15 subs to our local police department. In an amazing full-circle moment, an officer then teamed up with her to deliver the remaining 40 donated subs to a homeless shelter. ❤️ Gracelynn’s hard work, generosity, and heart for others truly embody what it means to be part of this team. We are so proud of you, Grace! 💙🥎

The Varsity Wildcats battled through an exciting back-and-forth scrimmage to come away with an 11–10 win in 8 innings over Cedarville. With 21 total hits between both teams, it was an offensive showdown from start to finish! A huge highlight of the night was our first home run of the season, crushed by freshman Alayna Strayer 💣 And we also got to celebrate junior Emily Brooks’ 18th birthday in the best way possible…with a hard-fought win! 🎉 Next up: we kick off the regular season on the road Monday at Catholic Central. Let’s keep the momentum rolling! 🐾🥎

Yesterday didn’t go the way we hoped on the scoreboard, but there were still plenty of wins for our team. Our first varsity scrimmage showed us where we need to grow but more importantly, it showed the heart of this group. The girls stayed positive, picked each other up, and never stopped competing. Proud of the way they supported one another from start to finish. That’s the kind of team we’re trying to build. Back at it today at home vs. Cedarville at 5pm. Let’s keep getting better. 🐾🥎

On International Women’s Day, it’s the perfect reminder of the impact sports can have on young women. As the saying goes, “Girls who play sports become women who lead.” I’m grateful to help coach athletes who are growing into strong, confident leaders both on and off the field.
