Softball defeats Wylie in pink-out game

Decked out in pink socks, pink shoelaces, pink eye-black, and pink headbands, the softball team stepped onto the field last night for its first district game.

In the effort to raise to awareness for breast cancer, the home games against Wylie were the annual “pink-out” games.

After a back and forth game pitched by freshman Caroline Witken, the junior varsity team lost 12-7 to the Pirates.

When varsity took the field, with senior Brittany Lewis on the mound, the Pirates scored in the first inning, prompting a 3 run retaliation by the Leopards. After gaining the lead in the first inning, the Leopards maintained it for the rest of the game, widening the gap until they run-ruled Wylie 12-2 in six innings.

The next district game is Friday at Greenville. Junior varsity plays at 5:30 p.m., and varsity plays at 7 p.m.

Ginger Hervey cried on her eleventh birthday when she didn't get a Hogwarts letter. If there was an Olympic event for sitting around in sweatpants, eating ice cream, and watching old romance movies, she would make her country proud. She is an expert at procrastination and overloads her schedule past what any rational person would- as a result, she frequently tests how little sleep a teenager can get and still function on a basic level. To her, there is no such thing as "too old to trick-or-treat" on Halloween. To instantly be liked by Ginger, bring her chocolate chip cookies and/or mention the TV show How I Met Your Mother. She is a senior who, in spite of having ambitious plans of going to law school, can be found on weekends experimentally baking with her friends and watching Disney movies until she falls asleep on the couch. Entering her sixth and final year of high school newspaper, Ginger is thrilled to have such a dedicated and fun staff to work with, especially her co-editor, the sensational Liz Schasel. She hopes to leave a legacy of prestigious journalism and witty poll questions behind her.
