“Coffee County has a good softball program and they get their kids involved at a early age. They came out an hit the ball early and made few mistakes. We have been playing better ball over the last couple of games and the girls continue to work hard. It’s going to take some time to get our softball program at the same level as Coffee County,” said coach Franklin Fisher.
