Lady Gladiators: Regional quarterfinal champs! 2-0 over Meridian
Loving the game — Freshman catcher Alyssa “Bone Crusher” Richards has been a huge part of the Lady Gladiators’ 6-0 playoff run. In Saturday’s game against Meridian, Richards caught a foul ball while crashing into the backstop. The backstop was a brick wall by the way. Top: Alyssa gets a hug from her grandfather Greg Richards. A former little league baseball coach, Greg currently has five grandchildren playing softball and/or baseball in Italy. (Barry Byers)
