As a former high school and college athlete I know the goal is to win but the truth is the relationships you develop and the kind of teammate you become is far more important than your win loss record.

A memorable softball season has come and gone. After @AlgonaSB & @BG_athletics closed out their campaigns, I had a chance to chat with both head coaches. Find more details about both teams' first-ever state appearances & the full interviews here: https://t.co/ZP8jlxndik

Congratulations to @AlgonaSB, who ends their 2019 season with a 5-4 win over Albia in the consolation round of the 2019 State Softball Tournament. A day after nearly beating No. 1 Davenport Assumption, the Bulldogs beat No. 4 Albia. What a run for the Bulldogs.
