Rivalry week: MVHS vs. SRVHS

For some it’s only the beginning… for others moving beyond high school, it’s their last. 

Though one thing is certain – they’re all enjoying the moment!! In all of the sports, you can feel that a lot of these players have been on teams together for years. Whether they were on the same team or have always battled each other – the energy is electric! 

The showdown: Stangs vs Wolves

SRVHS Varsity Softball won against MVHS 3-2. It was a total pitching duel with two of the best pitchers in our area battling it out to take home the win. For MVHS, it was pitcher R.Prichard who put up a fight. She went head to head against SRVHS standout Paige McLeod. 

It was a hard fought game, including an amazing diving catch by Sophia Jin who probably prevented any extra bases – heck of a heads up play and almost even got the out at first. 

Next week playoffs start! Wishing you all the best!
