I was very disappointed in your reporting of the Lady Warriors game against Montgomery on April 8th. Although your photographs were fantastic, the story did not paint an accurate picture of our team, as it generally focused on their weaknesses that day. I would like to fill your readers in on why our Lady Warrior softball team is absolutely amazing.
I have been a Warrior parent for 8 years, the last 4 as the proud parent of our team’s catcher and I can say with complete certainty that this team is comprised of some of the toughest, most determined girls I have ever met. They have the unfortunate disadvantage of being in a division that consists of far more experienced girls. Their opponents’ teams have had community feeder programs since the girls were young. For example, Montgomery’s Girls Softball League – which is not part of their public school system – begins at 6 years old. Franklin’s feeder program is the middle school team, which means that many of our girls are playing the game for the first time when they are 12 years old. (For the record, many of our girls play for the first time in high school.)
