The Drumheller Girls softball association under eight year old teams wrapped up their season at the end of June. The teams had a successful year according to both of the coaches.
Kevin Robison was one of the coaches and said the players on his team named the team the ‘Purple Polka-dotted Porcupines.’ For many of these girls, it was their first year playing softball and Robison said he was “really impressed at the great attitude the girls brought to the field each week.”
He said that each week he saw, “great improvement in their skills,” and that he was, “very proud of each girl for their hard work and dedication to the team.”
The U-8 teams had only one chance to play each other during the season because of being rained out during the last game, but Robison said they “did a terrific job and showcased their improvement.” He said overall the season was a great success and he is looking forward to seeing the girls continue with softball next year.
Brandy Jede, coach for the other Drumheller U-8 team said the season was a lot of fun.
“Coaching these little girls is a lot of fun. We loved their enthusiasm and look forward to coaching them in years to come.”
Jede said the award recipients for the year were: MVP Peyton Clark, Rookie of the year Olivia Jede and Heart and Hustle Addy Freilinger.
