Thursday night, the Mountain Ridge High School softball field was the site of both celebration and bittersweet goodbyes as the seniors on the Lion softball team played their final home game. The annual Senior Night tradition allows the team's upperclassmen to be honored and create one last core memory at the field where they've spent so many hours honing their skills over the past four years.


The five seniors - Elle (#6), Amanda (#11), Nataleigh (#12), KB (#16), G (#17), and Courtney (#18) - were treated to a night full of personalized fanfare and recognition. As each senior embarked on a sentimental "final walk" around the bases before the game, they were showered with gifts and warm wishes from their underclassman teammates at every base. Ribbon leis, long-stemmed softball "roses”, and customized gifts awaited them, presented with heartfelt hugs.

You could feel the bonds of camaraderie and sisterhood pulsing through the dugout as the team's leaders reminisced about their journeys. The shared laughter, hardships, and triumphs that forge such tight-knit teams were evident. Like family sending off one of their own, it was an evening intertwined with pride, nostalgia, and just a tinge of sadness at the finality of it all.

After their sentimental lap, each senior and her parents joined me on the pitcher's mound for a family photo. The gamut of emotions was on display - radiant smiles blending with misty eyes as the significance of the moment sank in. You couldn't help but marvel at how swiftly young athletes morph into mature, self-assured adults ready to chase their dreams. Elle, Amanda, Nataleigh, KB, G, and Courtney - I wish you nothing but endless success in your next chapters. The impression you've left on Mountain Ridge will resound long after those cleats unbuckle for the last time.
