Record doesn't speak for Badger girls

Despite a season that saw but a single
win, the Bonners Ferry Badgers 2013
softball team, many of whose members had
never swung a bat or fielded a ball
until the season started, showed grit,
determination and Badger spirit all
season long. Despite the record, theirs
are the hearts of champions. |

Districts are over, softball is done for another
year, and the weather is finally beautiful. On
Thursday, May 2, Bonners played number one seed
Kellogg in the first district playoff game.
Headed into the sixth inning, the score was 0-0.
Standout defense behind the arm of junior
MaKenzie Carle kept the Badgers in the game.
Unfortunately, the bats picked up for Kellogg in
the bottom of the sixth, allowing them to score
10 runs on multiple errors, thus ending the
fantastic start the ladies had in district play.
Day two of districts took place Tuesday again in
Timberlake, with a total opposite of the 25
degree weather "enjoyed" earlier in the season.
Eighty-five degrees and sunny greeted the teams
as they took the field. Bonners played Priest
River in the consolation game. The Badgers hung
in a full seven innings, but fell to the
Spartans 3-9.
For the first time in a few years, two Bonner's
Ferry Badgers were nominated to the All-League
team. Senior Lindsay Taggart and junior MaKenzie
Carle received the honors for their outstanding
play throughout the season.

the first time in years, two Badger
softball players earned All
Intermountain League honors in 2013,
senior Lindsay Taggart and junior
MaKenzie Carle. |
