What. A. Day. 🐾☀️
Yesterday was one of those perfect days that reminds us just how special it is to be a Cougar. The weather was incredible, the energy was high, and the Lay Cougars swept both softball games! 💪🥎
We were honored to recognize a legendary group — the 2005 undefeated state champions — on the 20th anniversary of their historic season. Thank you to Ben Schmidt (KHQA) and Chris Duerr (Muddy River News) for helping create an amazing tribute video. It meant the world. 🎥💙
As if that wasn’t enough, history was made on the field! Coming into the day, Haleigh Winter held the career RBI record at 111. By the end of the day, three seniors had passed that mark:
🔥 Abby Lay – 112 RBI
🔥 Bailie Crist – 113 RBI
🔥 Addy Abell – 116 RBI (including 6 RBI in one day!)
Oh, and did we mention? Abby Lay also earned her 50th career win on the mound. Absolute legend! 🐐
Huge shoutouts to:
🍔 Browny Rothweiler for grilling up a storm
🌭 Kendra Scifres for feeding and hosting the whole crew in Left Field – we couldn’t have done it without you!
Thank you to Ronnie & Dianne, Peggy, Darron, Ber, & Ben for all the help with setup & clean up.
Great day. Great people. Great memories. It’s always a great day to be a Cougar. 💙🤍 #CougarPride #CougarSoftball #HistoryMade
