Thursday night Lakeview High School softball team faced off against Aurora. This was senior night for upperclassmen at Lakeview. This was also, the last home game of the softball season and the last game played on Lakeview turf for the seniors.
“Aurora just recently lost someone to their team who was battling cancer, so we wanted to respect that,” noted senior Rayna Whitmore. The Lakeview softball team felt as though they should honor them in some way to show their respect for the other team. A few members of the softball team got together and spent four hours making bows for players to wear on Thursday night. There were also three yellow bows scattered around on the field, as yellow is the childhood cancer awareness color.
“We came out strong on the offensive side, but the defense wasn’t as clean,” said Whitmore. Lakeview came out strong at the start, but when it came down to it, Aurora came out on top 8-4. The Lakeview softball team had more hits when they were up to bat, than Aurora did. However, Lakeview struggled to stop the ball on the defensive side, letting Aurora have more runs.
Lakeview’s softball team will now be working hard on their defense tomorrow, as they get ready to head to Central City for their tournament this weekend.
