The softball team has been struggling to get a win. Their record stands at 3 -7. Their last loss was the hardest of them all. The team lost to Lakota East 14 -1.
“We usually take the lead in first inning but then around the fourth inning everything just falls apart. We had been doing a better job of keeping it together but this last game was hard,” senior Lydia Sloan said.
It does not help that a number of players of the team are hurt, making SHS have an extremely short bench.
“It has become a joke that someone gets hurt in every game we play, and with the new concussion laws if a player hits their head at all they usually end up sitting out for a week or more,” junior Paige Cassidy said.
The team has around 15 games left in the season, not counting the tournament. For more information on the softball team click here.

It is just a go-to when you’re with your girls,” said Debasmita Kanungo, 11.](https://shsleaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/weissblogmeangirlsphoto-300x424.jpg)
