Regional playoffs this Saturday, May 3 April 30, 2008
The Parish Episcopal Lady Panthers have completed their second full season of varsity softball and have surpassed their win total from last year with a 20-9 overall record and 9-5 record in district play. They finished third in district and were five errors away from possibly winning it all.
It was another amazing season. Freshman Sam Springer recorded all 19 wins and threw a Parish single season record 181 strikeouts. All-district honors were revealed and seven girls made First or Second Team. TAPPS 2-5A Second Team members are junior Kelsey Musselman, sophomores McClain Stone and Blaire Butler and freshman Kat Savoy. First Team selections are juniors Chelsea Jones and Sandra Palmer and freshman Sam Springer. Additionally, the following were voted by their district's schools as receiving specialty honors: Chelsea Jones, Defensive player of the year; Sam Springer, Newcomer of the year; and our very own Coach Griffin as Coach of the year.
The Lady Panthers ventured into their second straight post-season when they faced Ft. Worth Christian last Saturday, April 26, at Argyle Liberty Christian with a win and advancing to the state regional finals to play Ft. Bend Baptist, the defending state champs. That game will be held this Saturday, May 3, at Baylor University's Getterman Field in Waco.

The Parish varsity softball girls have jumped out to their best start in team history.

The girls opened the tourney with big wins over Rockwall Heritage, The Highlands, Denton Calvary and tourney host Carrollton Christian before falling to the eventual tourney champs. Junior Chelsea Jones and freshman Sam Springer made the CCA All-Tourney team. District play opens up Monday, March 17, when the Lady Panthers travel to face Tyler Grace.

Lady Panthers Win Season Opener Feb 6, 2008
The 2008 softball season is off to a bang. The depleted squad traveled to 6A perennial power Bishop Dunne and walked away with a 7-6 victory. Freshman Samantha Springer threw a two-hitter with six strikeouts. Junior Sandra Palmer led the way going 2-2 with 3 RBI’s, a double and a triple. The game was 7-3 going into the final inning, and after two costly errors the score was 7-5 with a runner at second and the tying run at the plate. The batter hit a shot to left center scoring the first runner and then trying to score herself, junior shortstop Chelsea Jones threw a bullet to junior catcher Kelsey Musselman for the final out. The lady panthers will have their home opener this Thursday at 6pm vs. another 6A power Trinity Christian Addison. Please come out and support your lady panthers softball team as they quest for a district championship.
