The girls, who play in a predominately all boys league, barely missed out on the Gold Medal game. Early in the season, they struggled to be competitive, but steadily progressed to achieve a record setting season! The team is coached by a husband and wife duo, Amanda and Richard Galbraith, and their son Tyson is an assistant coach. The girls, Katie Galbraith, Hanna Abbott, Siara Alonso, Jorja Prentice, Saige Morley, Heidi Bennington, Leah Robbins, Teshayda Coyle, Morgan MacDonald, Maya Newmaster, and Hollie Hunt, were all in attendance Monday night along with Amanda and Tyson Galbraith, to receive their medals and certificates from Mayor Ken Bennington. Mayor Bennington opined that it was unfortunate that the team pitcher had not brought her glove and a ball, as he doubted that any of the ball playing councillors would be able to hit her fast ball! --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2017-09-29 20:09:32 Post date GMT: 2017-09-30 00:09:32 Post modified date: 2017-10-27 13:52:57 Post modified date GMT: 2017-10-27 17:52:57 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
