A Message from the Coaches- We are so proud of the #MTHSsoftball team. Through all of the adversities this team has had to go through; from losing a season last year, living through a pandemic, injuries, volleyball season moved, and only having a 2 month season- this team has improved so much! It is aways hard to end a season, especially after playing a game like today, but the coaching staff wants all the players to know how much they enjoyed this season and how proud we are of this team! Panther Proud 🧡🐾
