🥎🐝 8th Grade Softball Night 🐝🥎
Tonight, we celebrated our incredible 8th grade Hornets who have given their hearts to Penderlea softball. Your dedication, teamwork, and love for the game have left a lasting mark on this program. You’ve shown what it means to play with pride, hustle hard, and lift each other up—on and off the field.
Thank you for the memories, the laughter, and the leadership you’ve shared with your teammates and coaches. Once a Hornet, always a Hornet! 💛
