In sports, some things are bigger than the game or the final outcome.
Amory softball could have canceled the rest of their season and no one would have blamed them. A devastating tornado tore through the town on March 25th, destroying their softball facility. Everyone on the team suffered loss in some degree.
Instead, the team chose to fight. Rallying around #AmoryStrong and the idea of Mudita....the idea of finding joy in the well being of one other.
The team fought, for each other. They fought until the final out of Game 3 against the 2x defending state champions from Booneville. They fell 3-2, coming up just short of a trip to the North Half Championship series.
Amory head softball coach summed it up best after the loss.
"It's a God thing. He protected us, put some things in light for us," she said.
"We should have been done a long time ago, but they just had that no quit attitude."
