Softball

Coaches: Ken Elliot, Tim Knappenberger

Key Players: Celia Knappenberger, Amanda Fischer, and Quinn Hughes

Record: 7 wins 3 losses

“We played well off of each other. People always say hitting is contagious and when one girl plays or hits well, everyone follows. This is a team sport so it takes a little bit from everyone to win. We did have some young players that don’t play travel ball so the experience wasn’t there. You know some growing pains had to happen throughout the season, sometimes at the wrong times but all was well in the end.” ~Celia Knappenberger

“My favorite memory was probably the triple header we had solely for the fact that even though it was about 10 hours of being together and playing tennis, no matter what was happening it was always enjoyable. When we won we all were there to get hype. I guess and if we lost we shook it off because we knew we just had to keep going, it was definitely an experience, a fun, crazy experience.”~Sam Blair
