C oach K arla P att said,
“They did excellent.”
The team earned the nick
name o f “the iron nine” af
ter playing w ith only nine
players.
T hat m eant two players
continued to play despite be
ing injured because the team
had no substitutes.
D u rin g o n e gam e, E lise
Bagley played after being hit by
pitches while K ortney Stacona
was tagged hard at hom e plate.
“They had to play through
injuries and everything th at
came up,” Patt said.
T he team also earned a very
positive reputation, Patt said.
“Everywhere we played they
w ere c o m p lim e n ted by the
other coaches and their um
pires, even at state, for their
p o sitiv e a ttitu d e a n d th e ir
sportsmanship,” Patt said. “We

While some o f the girls had
played softball together before,
Patt said, the early division between
teammates quickly dissolved.
“T he girls ended as a really
strong team,” Patt said. “The
c o m m u n ity sh o u ld be really
proud o f them.”
As for her experience coach
ing the team, Patt added, “I t was
exciting.”
“This was my first year ever
coaching and so I had to learn
along w ith the girls,” Patt ex
plained. “We had parent support
from all the parents. They were
always there helping, providing
support and encouragement and
their own knowledge o f the skills
o f the game.”
In Patt’s opinion, “It was very
enjoyable.”
Patt and Trey Leonard served
as managers for the team.
H obo Patt and D ough Jack-
