POSTPONED
story
From snow, to rain, to poor field conditions, the Lady Dragon’s softball team faced many post-poned games which put them at a disadvantage for having a good season. The coaching staff was comprised of Jamie Rose, head coach; Ben Whitsitt, assistant coach; and Michelle Nuss as the pitching coach. They worked hard to prepare the team to pull ahead once nice weather arrived. When play became regular, the team was able to begin the average season with several, memorable, record games for the Lady Dragons.
