Stallions Take Down West Potomac In Regional Semi-Finals 7-1

by Cindy Jackson

The West Potomac Wolverines made it to the Regional Semi-Finals for the second time in three years.  This team increasingly earned respect as the season progressed. They started off the season beating their cross town rival Mount Vernon 8-0, and continued to build on that momentum throughout the season. Coach Craig was quoted in the Mount Vernon Gazette as calling this team the “dark horse.” Did this “unknown” team emerge to prominence … or at least gain some respect?

The answer to that is a resounding YES. This Wolverine softball team brought pride to West Potomac this year. This team made the entire school take notice of these girls – who have consistently had a winning record over the years – but this year they took it one step further. This year these girls showed up to play, with a defense even the toughest teams in the region feared.  This year these girls gave 110% effort one hundred percent of the time. 

Every one of these girls had every right to walk off that field last night with their heads held high. The coaches and parents of these girls could not be prouder of their accomplishments this season. This team has everything to look forward to. With only one graduating senior, 16 of these 17 girls will return next year. 

Congratulations to all these girls and to the coaches. What a fabulous season. We could not be prouder.
