ATHLETICS
Softball
The Lady Raider softball team made it to the State Elite Eight to be played beginning Thursday, October 26, at South Commons. It was a great weekend of top-notch softball. Shaw won three straight games in the winners' bracket. They defeated Harlem 2 - 0, West Laurens 3 - 0, and then sent Hardaway home by defeating them 5 - 0. Way to go Lady Raiders! Corri Connally pitched all three games and Ashton Urness played flawlessly as the catcher. Other outstanding players in the tournament were Jayln Farley, Misha Aldridge, and Nichole Eldridge. In each game, the Lady Raiders had nine hits. Keep up the good work girls! Congratulations to the Lady Raiders softball team once again on their win on October 26 in the State Softball Tournament at South Commons against Sandy Creek 3-1. Corri Connally and Ashton Urness did a great job pitching and catching. The Lady Raiders were defeated in the second game 2-0 by Central of Carrollton. The Lady Raider softball team ended their season Saturday, October 28, in the state tournament with a loss to South Effingham in the eighth inning by a score of 1-0. Corri Connally and Ashton Urness shut South Effingham down until an error in the eighth inning. WE can be very proud of this softball team who had to recover from the lost of six starters last year. No one gave these girls much credit until the end of the season. Their success was due to a lot of hard work. To finish in the top eight in the state in triple A is not bad. They continued the tradition of outstanding softball at Shaw. We will lose five seniors this season: Corri Connally, Jayln Farley, Ashton Urness, Nicole Eldridge, and Kydal Schaaf. They have made a great contribution to the success of this year's team.
Congratulations to Coaches Debbie Ball and Laurie
McInroy and to the 2006 Shaw Lady Raiders Fastpitch Softball Team! They
finished the season ranked #5 in the state! We are proud of you, Lady
Raiders!
