Lady Grizzlies Come Out Growling

“We will be very successful,” says senior Leeann Garrett about the upcoming Creekview Grizzlies softball season. True to her promise, it was a weekend of success for the Creekview Grizzlies softball team! It all began with the Friday night games that were delayed 45 minutes due to the terrible weather. But that did not stop the Lady Grizzlies from winning both games that evening. After battling through the second game, the girls came out with an exciting finish and won four to one against Alexander.

Following the banner win Friday night, the girls returned to Sandy Plains with renewed determination. Confident they would do well during the day’s competition, they met that goal as only the Creekview Grizzlies could. Winning the first two games against Pope and Kell, the Grizzlies were pumped and ready for their last two games against Lassiter and Sequoyah. During the game against Lassiter, the girls were shown that they are not totally undefeatable after a 5-2 loss.

This small set back was not enough to stop the girls from winning against their rival team, Sequoyah. From beginning to finish the Grizzlies were in it to win it. They did not let one game bring them down; instead they came ready to win against Sequoyah. This reflected in the final score 6-1.

After a long tournament the Grizzlies finished with five wins and one loss, while battling through good teams and unpredictable weather. If this tournament season opener is an indication of how well the girls play as a team, Creekview students and families can look forward to cheering this remarkable team on once again in this year’s State Championship!
