Charger nation

The Spring Branch-Memorial Sports Association 10U Chargers softball team, coached by (back row, from left) Stuart Jolly, Grayson Wallace, Aaron Boudreaux, and Darren Van Delden, had an outstanding season. The team, made up of third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade girls, advanced to the Gold Bracket playoff games after their regular season. Head coach Aaron delivered a special shoutout for each player at their end-of-season party. “Aaron did a wonderful job coaching and motivating the girls; he kept the parents engaged so everyone felt a part of the Chargers. It was a special season,” said a team parent. Their achievements in the league are secondary to the lifelong friendships the girls have formed over their love of the game. Pictured are (middle row, from left) Aubrey Brooks, Danielle Kurtz, Caroline Wallace, Rose Jolly, Annie Boudreaux, Riley Ann Reid, Gia Smith, Liv Van Delden; (front row, from left) Libby Suszko, Colette Marchesani, Sienna Weidemann, and Maggie Perry.
