IN YOUR WORDS, HOW HAS COVID-19 AFFECTED YOU Covid-19 has really affected me because I can not see any of my friends and some of my friends are already leaving and going to college and I never really got to say goodbye

WHAT WILL YOU MISS MOST FROM THIS SEASON I will miss getting to travel with the team the most I always thought that my senior season would be my best. Going on our long-awaited spring break trip, getting to play the sport I have loved for 11 years, and going to state! I’m going to miss playing with this great Fayetteville softball team. It was a great four-game run. Go dogs!
