Softball players bring energy, sportsmanship

FALLBROOK — Emily Bryant, Giovanna “G” Nakamoto and Jahna Jordan are this week’s junior varsity softball’s featured players. These girls are part of the driving force of the team and have raised the bar on sportsmanship.

Emily, a returning sophomore, works after practice with a number of the girls to teach them the mechanics of pitching. She gives them 100 percent focus and encourages them with every attempt. She has spirit far beyond that of a typical player. She is always looking out for the best interest of her team, all while she is smiling and cheering on her teammates. She has the fight of a true Warrior.

“G” is another true hero who emerged on the field this season. Found in the heart of the team, she and has continually shown her spirit and strength of character. While awaiting CIF clearance, she continued to attend every game and practice, cheering loudly, encouraging teammates and helping out the coaches. She has been the voice of reason, the cheerleader and the “gopher” for the entire team.

Now that “G” has been cleared to join the others on the field, a new energy has emerged and the girls are renewed for the start of league play. Her strength and drive have proven to be a positive influence on her teammates.

Jahna, a freshman, is a force to be reckoned with. Her energy on the field shines brighter and brighter every game. There is not a play that Jahna cannot turn into something beautiful. She is a motivator and a cheerleader for her entire team.

The bench is alive with spirit when Jahna initiates chatter. The girls know she will always be there in a pinch and she supports them in ways they can always count on. On this team, Jahna’s voice is encouraging; her actions are strengthening and her spirit is comforting. She’s a true team player.

These Lady Warriors bring camaraderie to the playing field and drive team spirit to an all-time high.
