“Aliya is our first baseman and a kid who always shows up to practice ready to go. Her attitude is special and something that inspires us all.

“Stephanie helps keep the scorebook for us and has settled into that role very well. She is a great help to me during games and keeping me posted on batter tendencies and other important matters relevant to the game.

“It was great to see both girls have success on Senior Night as they helped us to a big team win. I’m excited for them as they finish their career here at Clarion Area.

I know I speak for all of their teammates and coaches by saying that we wish them nothing but the best and hope they achieve everything they aspire to be.”
