Softball defeats Sherman, maintains perfect district record

Coming back after nearly a week off due to spring break, the softball team played a home district game against Sherman Tuesday night.

The junior varisty game, beginning at 5:30 p.m., ended with a resounding win by the Leopards. The final score against the Bear Cats’ JV team was 14-5, with sophomore Samantha O’Brien hitting a home run.

The varsity game, beginning at 7 p.m., started off slowly for the Leopards. Allowing four runs to be scored on them in the first inning and only gaining one back, the varsity team entered the second inning down by three. However, in the third inning, the Leopards pulled ahead, with a record three home runs in one inning. The home runs were hit by sophomore Amanda Conner and senior Brittany Lewis, and senior Sammi Curry hit a grand slam.

Although both teams scored more runs, the Leopards never lost the lead they gained in the third inning. With a final score of 13-9, varsity softball maintained its perfect district record.

The next game is Friday at Royse City. JV 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.
