Softball Alumni/Youth Night Pike Central Softball head coach Stephanie Dawson has put together an Alumni/Youth Night to honor all former PC softball players and Pike County youth softball play- ers. Anyone who has ever worn a Charger softball uniform is invited to come to the Pike Central field this Thursday, May 20 to watch the final regular season game against the Dubois Lady Jeeps beginning at 5:30 p.m. Your admission will be free. This also applies to all Pike County youth soft- ball players. All youth softball players who attend will re- ceive free admission and get to stand with the high school girls during the playing of the National Anthem. Come check these out. Sectional is at Washington next week and these girls are hungry. More people, more sup- port, more cheering equals more adrenaline for these girls. Come check them out Thursday night at home, and give them the support they deserve because they are deter- mined to add some "new paint" to the softball barn wall.
