Success in the south, success at home
Lady Waves earn first district win
Over spring break, the Lady Waves traveled south to sunny (?) Gulf Shores, Ala., to hone their skills for the softball season. Projected to play four games, they got in two and ½ due to the monsoon that hit the Gulf Shores area. In the first game against Robertsdale High School, March 28, the girls acquitted themselves quite well. Down 3-0 in, they came from behind to secure the win 6-5. Ahead 6-0 in the third inning against Gulf Shores High School, they fell victim to the monsoon-like weather and the game was rained out for no decision. They traveled next to Spanish Fort whom the defeated 3-0. “Kayla Padgett had a good day against Spanish Fort,” said Coach Mike Harreld, “She went 4 for 4 at bat.”
