A season worth celebrating

The Clear Lake softball team may have ended their season at least one game earlier than they had hoped, but the team provided some thrilling wins down the stretch.  After recording a 1-23 record a year ago, the girls worked hard all season and showed steady improvement.  This year the Lions earned their first wins in tournament play since 2010.
