On Saturday, February 1, the softball girls volunteered with Habitat For Humanity. Working alongside the future homeowner, a single mother with two young daughters, the team moved rocks, put in mulch and dirt, and prepared flowerbeds.
“We were planning to put in grass, but it didn’t get delivered in time,” freshman Courtney Ogle said.
The girls bonded over the hard physical labor and enjoyed meeting the homeowner.
“She was very thankful,” Ogle said. “We gave her a plant to remember us!”
Ogle, who has been on mission trips before, said that this one was different because the team members all knew each other.
“Hopefully, we will bring that spirit of cooperation onto the field with us,” Ogle said.
Coach Tiffany Gates, who arranged the volunteer opportunity, said she is “so proud to be a Warrior!”
