The Heritage High School Junior Varsity Softball team (the Flamingos) had their first very exciting win of the season this evening.

Final Score 15-11. Players include Pitcher Trisha Campanella who pitched 9 strikeouts and also hit a home run in the game (her second home run this season). Catcher Abby Cauley did a great job behind the plate and scored twice in the game. Second base 6th grade Rookie India Stubbs Hammond proved her rank on the JV team by keeping the ball in front of her and scoring twice. Short stop Sarah Hinkle hit a nice line drive with 2 RBI's. Third base girl Brittney Torres played a flawless infield, keeping the team's head in the game as usual and scored three times. Center fielder Jennifer Garity scored twice. Jamie Kuykendell smiled as she ran across the plate to score and kept alert in left field. Clarice 'Peanut' Young scored twice. The players played against the Palm Coast Mustangs. They played hard and well, had a fantastic attitude and the camaraderie in the dug out was unbelievable. The umpire at the game tipped his hat to Academies of Excellence for our noticeably good sportsmanship.

Please take a moment on Monday to congratulate the players on the JV Softball Team. This was only their second game of the season, the first being a close game against St. Joseph Academy last week. The girls are working hard to improve. 

Coach Robertson and I are very proud of their success.
