Lady Phoenix Softball Set to Return Experience in 2025

By Bees O’Brien

LOGANTON- Sugar Valley softball won just 4 games a season ago, but they showed signs of improvement and will be using that experience this season.

The Lady Phoenix return 5 of their top 6 hitters from a season ago, including their top hitter in Cheyenne Weaver, who batted .500. Ellynn Scarborough became one of the best outfielders in the Mid Penn Conference while hitting .407.

Olivia Clester hit .400, while giving the Lady Phoenix a strong arm in the circle. Kayleigh Showers, Nevaeh Walters, Marrin Clester and Hattie Cinnamon are among other players returning with experience.

Sugar Valley should be able to hold their own in a down season within the Mid Penn Conference. Bucktail, Montgomery, Muncy and Sullivan County all look to be holding down the top of the league. The Lady Phoenix should be able to knock off Benton, CMVT, Millville and possibly give Northwest a battle. Look for the Lady Phoenix to improve on their 4 wins from last season and possibly make the move to that all important .500 mark and possibly qualify for the District IV playoffs for the first time in school history.
