DRAFFENVILLE – Christian Fellowship’s Lady Eagles softball team were on a nine game losing streak but finished out their season with four straight wins, including the most important last two that came in the KCAC Tournament where they beat Calvary Christian 11-0 and Portland Christian 15-0, earning tournament champions, the first KCAC Tournament win in softball for CFS.
Abigail Cima and Amber Shelley were named to the all-tournament team and Maddie Ortt was tournament MVP.
The last four wins gave the lady Eagles an 11-11 record, which is also the best record in school history.
“The team accomplished all of their preseason goals and more importantly, improved in every area of the game”, Head Coach Trevor Jackson said. “We fielded a team for most of the season that had four or five middle school players in the starting lineup. This year we played more varsity games and tougher varsity competition than last year. The offense produced more runs and the defense was more stingy. The team was able to develop depth at every position. We now have at least two players for every position, which is key since we only have 12 players.”
