The Brentsville District High School Softball Team is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

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.
