“I am trying out for softball,” Freshman Kinleigh Christian said. “I like playing in the outfield. I started playing baseball at a young age, I think I was 6 years old, but I knew I couldn’t do baseball. So I tried out softball. Softball is different from baseball; (in softball) the ball travels to the plate from the pitcher. In softball the pitcher does a little circle and then releases the ball, the ball will travel up while a pitcher in baseball will overhand throw it causing it to travel down. I have a lot of big cheerleaders in softball but I think the two main ones are my mom because she has been to every game I’m in and Shyanne Blackerby because every time I do something wrong she is there for me. If I do something wrong like swing or I am behind the ball she lets me know and I fix it.”

About the Contributor
Emma Earl, Newspaper
Hey y’all! I’m Emma, a sophomore and a news writer for the Eagle’s Tale. This is my second year in the journalism program and my first year on newspaper staff. I’m so excited to bring y’all the latest news in our school! But don’t worry. I don’t just do journalism. I’m a proud theatre student, I help run the Creative Writing Club, I’m taking Spanish two honors, and am figuring my way out around music theory. If I’m not doing any of that, you’ll probably find me playing the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild for the five-hundredth time, or at Journey Coffee with a tall, iced latte attempting to write a novel, though I bet you’ll find me on Pinterest instead. I love writing, spending too much money on books that I won’t read, my family–both church and physical family–all things the Legend of Zelda, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, blasting certain songs I find until I get sick of them, and binge watching Brooklynn Nine-Nine.
