Everything is a last for senior Ellie Anderson. 
Last time playing a certain team with her South Hardin teammates. Last time competing in a tournament. Friday and Saturday marked the last time she would play in the Dave Lee Classic, a familiar site for the five-year starter. 
“It’s weird to think about,” Anderson said. “But it's also nice because I can use that as motivation for myself behind the plate. Every at bat, I'm saying to myself, ‘alright, this is my last time seeing Cedar Falls, or Sumner-Fredericksburg. It’s weird, but fun.”

“We really had a great night,” Kadolph said. “The events we felt good about getting in got through and then a couple on the bubble. That goal of Districts isn’t to score a lot of points, but us finishing in the top half shows the depth we got now.”

“Everyone’s there watching you high jump, you’re getting used to the crowd,” Wheeler said. “It was hard to handle my first few jumps, but it was nice to compete.”
