Following will be a non-conference game against Division II Southeast Conference foe Sitka at 4 p.m. (JV 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.). They also play at 7 p.m. Friday (JV 3 and 5 p.m.).

Colony is second at 7-1 (28-8-1), West Valley 2-4 (6-6), Lathrop 1-5 (8-9) and Wasilla 1-7 (11-18-1). The RBC tournament is May 30-31 in Fairbanks, and the top two teams will advance to state June 5-7 in Anchorage along with the top four teams from Anchorage’s Cook Inlet Conference tournament. Sitka leads the DII SEC at 2-1 (14-12-4) with Ketchikan at 1-2 (13-14-2). They will have no conference tournament this season — just a regular season-ending series at Ketchikan and both advance to the DII state tournament in Anchorage with the better record country wise email marketing list earning a higher seed.
Following are brief interviews with the JDHS softball seniors:
What makes softball special?: What makes this sport so special to me is that it’s a place where I know I can be myself without feeling judged. It is also a place where at the end of a long, stressful day, I can unwind and let go. The sport is where I find myself feeling fully calm and stress free. This sport is what I look forward to every morning, knowing I can finally let go and feel the weight lift off my shoulders.
Favorites: food – taco soup; song/music – “Banana Pancakes” by Jack Johnson; book – “Enemies” by Tijan Meyer; movie – “Flipped”; player/team – I would have to say my favorite team I’ve ever played with is the one I won state with, my sophomore year team, 2023 season; school class: AK History with Mrs. Lloyd; hobbies/pastimes – I also play volleyball, I am ASB senior spirit representative and president of Crimson Club.
