Varsity Softball
Dominating WCAL
by Sarah Reinartz
Varsity softball has dominated
their league so far this season. They have had additional league
games against Sacred Heart Cathedral, and Sacred Heart Prep. The
game versus Sacred Heart Cathedral on Thursday, March 23 turned
out to be an overwhelming victory for Valley, with a score of
21-2. During the game, center fielder, Brittany Hendrickson,
and shortstop Shanaé Jones each hit a
double. Pitcher for the game (and 3rd baseman), Ashley
Frost, slammed not only a double, but also a homerun.
Catcher Haley Abbot also had a triple, two singles
and a double throughout the game.
Friday, March 24 versus Sacred Heart Prep was also a win for Valley.
The final score of the game was 10-0. There were both offensive
and defensive plays displayed through the game that accompanied
with the dramatic win. Hendrickson, left fielder, Nic
Lim and pitcher, Kaitlyn Rauschnot each
helped out the team with a double. Abbot once again had a triple,
but she also made a spectacular play behind the plate with a diving
catch behind the backstop. Newcomer, and freshman of the team,
Codie Sawyer (also right fielder) strutted her
stuff by hitting a double as well. Rauschnot also impressed the
crowds by striking out eight batters during the coarse of the
game.
There has been a devastating amount of games cancelled throughout
this season that should now be almost half way over, and is only
a quarter of the way through. The league is now contemplating
simply withdrawing and not rescheduling any more games due to
excessive cancellations that are going to be extremely difficult
to make up unless all of the games are crammed together. The team
and coaches alike are hoping that the league decides against this,
but for now they are waiting to hear what will happen. Either
way they will play any games they have their hardest and continue
to lead the season with wins.

Battle Cry Calls for
All to Stand
Thousands of people crammed into a crowded stadium with rain pouring
on top their heads. People just outside the wall have banners
and signs protesting the very presence of those inside. A scene
like this is intense.
This was the backdrop for the Battle Cry stadium event in San
Francisco. Among the thousands of teenagers attending the concert/worship
event were dozens of Valley Christian students. Freshmen, sophomores,
juniors, and seniors all came together for two days of meeting
with God.

Spiritual Emphasis
Week
Imagine trudging through a swamp waist deep with nothing
to guide you but your compass. It is night, and you have to use
your instincts to find your way to a marked point. For speaker
Darrin Crowder, he has met many similar challenges
such as this when he joined the army.
Crowder came to Valley Christian the week of March 27 to share
his message with the students of how to separate “what the world
tries to say to you vs. what the Bible is trying to tell you.”
