Three South Caldwell grads from last year playing at Lees-Mcrae. Outfielder Keri Austin
Infielder Heather Benfield
Pitcher Stephanie Winebarger
All 3 have seen a lot of playing time this fall and with the several other freshman should help the program start to improve along with a new and enthusiastic head coach.
SC had 4 girls recieve scholarships this year; those three along with Ashley Adams who went to a school in Tenn. All 4 of these girls also played for the Tri-county Twisters for 4 or 5 years.

 

Good to hear about the SC girls playing collegiately and for the most part in-state too! Wish LMC would get their site updated, as do alot more of our area colleges...........but wish them the best and We hope you keep the TBR community posted on all LMC results/stats for the fall/Spring 2004!

sbmom..........nice to have you back with us and isn't this the best time of the year!

LBlues

How did Kim Goens and Niki Price do for Mt Olive? also, how did Christie Smith do? Thanks REt

 

Re: LBlues

Kim and nikki collected one hit each and sorry i didnt recognize CSmith so stats on her not available but Mt Olive had 10 freshmen to revitalize their floundering program. Good to see them excited about ball especially after last years results and team problems. They lost both games on Sunday but sure this team will come to play this spring!
