On Tuesday Sept. 8, Francis Howell Central’s JV Softball team went up against their continuous rivals at Francis Howell High School. The girls played with a lot of excitement and skill as they encouraged each other through the entire duration of the game. Though the game was very close, the Spartans lost 7-6 against the rival Vikings. Sophomore Tessa Higginbotham tells about what her team needs to do in order to keep the momentum going after this loss.

“As a team I think we played well,” Higginbotham said. “But there are times where we need to believe in ourselves more and not give up when we’re losing or in a hard situation.”

Hopefully with new found assurance in themselves can the JV Softball team come out with a win at their next game against St. Dominic High School on Sept. 21.
