Riding the wave

The West University Softball Association (WUSA) 10U WAVE all-star team (pictured) won the Slide into Fall round-robin tournament in Willis. With a combination of dominant pitching, solid defense, and powerful hitting, the girls won all four tournament games by large margins to claim the title of champion. The WAVE players came together from various regular-season softball teams to form the all-star team after a rigorous tryout process. The champions are (top row, from left) coach Ben Gaw, Daniela Trejo, Annabelle Hamilton, Michelle Gaw, Carson Weinberg, Amanda Debusk, Emery Morris, coach Mike Levy, (bottom row, from left) Sophia Tang, Isabella James Berry, Sydney Monkmeyer, Claire Koush, Ainsley Triche, Zoe Nodler, and Sarah Levy. Also coaching were Bob Monkmeyer, Drew Morris, Jorge Trejo, Andrew DeBusk, and Tony Tang.
