Christian Eagles and gone three for three with a solo home run, a triple, and four runs batted

School Lady Hornets softball team throughout the regular season and the postseason have
earned them the coveted 2019 Division IV championship; and

the winning effort: seniors Sarah Andre, LeeAnn Armond, Kaitley Fisher, Camryn Lamkin,
and Kailynn LeBlanc; junior Maecie Vince; sophomores Blaire Bizette and Adelyn Fisher;
freshmen Isabel Guerin, Kaylin Jarreau, Maddie Jarreau, Katilyn Johnson, Joelle LeBlanc,
