more girls athletics

It's good to see that there are people out there who appreciate womens athletics.
here is a link to a news story about a female athlete in texas. Pretty impressive story.

The Ark City High School softball team is pretty impressive too.
This is something that is really positive and the city should be proud of.
I think this year has been especially impressive.
For years they have been good and have won two straight state titles.
But after last season their coach of many years retired and they lost most of their starting lineup.
For most teams that would mean a rebuilding year.
Not for the Lady Bulldogs though. They just reloaded and kept winning. A lot of that is due to the good youth programs that someone mentioned yesterday. Also there is tradition and expectation.
Teams that go in expecting to win usually do, and teams that go in expecting to lose, usually lose.
There's a lesson for Arkansas City there.

Playoffs start this week, they are the top seed in their region and have a really good chance to get to the state tournament.
If you get there, anything can happen.

They will be hosting some playoff games this week. Let's get out there and show some support.
