The Brentsville District High School Softball Team is definitely a force to be reckoned with.
Lead by one senior, five juniors, five sophomores, and three freshman, the team definitely brings it on the field. Heading into the district games as the number one seed this season. The juniors on the team which include the team’s three captain’ and make up majority of the infield are a diversified group.
Makenzie Bailey, or Mac for short, which is the team’s third baseman, started her freshman year catching for the Tigers. Mac, one of the teams big hitters came through this year big time in a conference game against Kettle Run High School. With two outs in the bottom of the 7th, Mac hit a walk off home run to win the game.
Kayla Nadeau the teams shortstop, brings another dynamic to the Tigers. Kayla, the leadoff hitter, is a lefty slapper that knows her game. With a batting average of 465 and 66 at bats this season, she gets the job done.
Kayla started her freshman year at 1st base and also backed up Panone in the pitchers circle and played the outfield when needed. A true utility.
Christa Panone play’s 2nd base for the Tigers. Another lefty slapper that brings a lot of diversity to the team. Panone started out in the pitchers circle for the tigers her freshman year. Christa can always be heard from the stands and has a positive energy that radiates through the team.
Lexi Mcgruder who has been the teams number one cheerleader from the dugout this season. After an ACL injury this fall she has been out to recover.
Lexi’s started her freshman year as a center fielder and then moved to right field. Her bat has definitely been missed this season. Lexi has been there for every game to cheer on her team.
Chelsea Hugh One of the teams flex players continues to be a positive influence from the dugout. Cheering her team on and stepping up to fill in spots in the outfield when needed.
All together these girls have played ball together through school and travel for more than 10 years. They show leadership, true sportsmanship and a dedication to each other and their team.
