The Lady Gladiators softball team had 6 players honored as All-District selections and 6 players recognized as Academic All-District selections. The good news for head coach Jennifer Reeves, all 9 Lady Gladiators honored are expected to return to next years roster and will be joining their teammates that all made great strides in 2011.

When asked how excited she is about entering next season with the Pitcher Of The Year in Megan Richards, and the Catcher Of The Year in Alyssa Richards, Coach Reeves perked up with a Texas sized grin saying, “Oh, I’m very excited!”
