JCHS SENIOR NIGHT AGAINST SUB-REGION OPPONENT CARVER-ATLANTA (POSTED 9/29)
The Lady Gladiators got off to a slow start against the Panthers of Carver-Atlanta on Wednesday night but the offense finally awakened enabling Johns Creek to take a 10-1 victory in a 5-inning affair. Lindsey Anderson was able to keep Carver in check while waiting for the offense to arrive. On Senior Night, Lindsey was the focus of attention prior to the game as the sole Senior for the 2009 Lady Gladiators. Lindsey and her family (father Kirk, mother Janelle, brother Duncan, and grandparents Floyd and Kathy) were joined by special guests Lacey Ingram (pitching instructor), Sharon Perkins (head coach, Georgia Tech), and Principal Buck Greene along with the JCHS Lady Gladiators coaching staff in an emotional pre-game ceremony. Lucy Carr, in a special tribute to Lindsey, sang a beautiful rendition of the national anthem prior to the start of the game before assuming her position behind the plate as catcher filling in for Jenna Restivo who was ill. With no rest for the weary, the Lady Gladiators face the Golden Lions of St. Pius in a Region 5-AAA "B" match-up tomorrow. The winner will earn the #1 seed for Sub-region "B" in the Region 5-AAA tournament that begins next week.

SOFTBALL FIELD PHOTOS FROM JCHS OPEN HOUSE (ADDED 6/20)
The JCHS Open House on Saturday, 6/20, was the first (and last) chance to get a close up view of the new softball field until the field is turned over by the contractor on July 27th (Monday). The Diamond Club spent the better part of the Open House at the field working with vendors to finalize quotes on Fall projects so we are ready when the field is turned over on 7/27. The field is looking great and with some of the planned upgrades, it will even be better by the time the Lady Gladiators take the field in early August. A number of future Lady Gladiators took advantage of the opportunity Saturday to check out the new field. For those unable to make the Open House, check out the pictures below as well as additional photos posted on the PHOTOS page (click on any of the photos to enlarge an image).

JCHS SOFTBALL DIAMOND TAKING SHAPE
The JCHS softball field is taking shape and looking good as you can see from the photo below. The dugouts are substantially complete with a brick exterior that matches the brick used throughout the construction of the JCHS campus. Additionally, a brick wall that forms the basis of the backstop stretches from dugout to dugout. Fencing around the field is being installed. Outfield sod and lights were installed in the Fall.

JCHS SCOREBOARD DESIGN FINALIZED
The graphic design of the JCHS Lady Gladiator softball field scoreboard has been finalized and is shown below. The scoreboard is an ElectroMech 1520 full 7-inning scoreboard and is courtesy of Coca-Cola Company.
