An opening day to remember

Kayden Bell and Claire Mischon (pictured, from left) enjoyed opening day for SBMSA softball. The girls play for the 8U Panthers and joined the other teams in the league for a full day of games on the fields at Spring Branch Elementary School. In addition to being cheered on by all of the parents and siblings, Kayden had special guests, her aunt Jami Lobpries and friend Amanda Scarborough, who are former Texas A&M University softball players. Jami flew in from Florida to watch the opening game, and Amanda drove in from Georgetown, Texas. The young SBMSA players were inspired by the A&M players and are looking forward to a great spring season.
