DIAMOND DOMINANCE: PIRATES SOFTBALL READY TO SHINE

By: Caden Dillon

The winter snow is melting, and Southeast fans are excited to get outdoors for some spring sports. From track to lacrosse to softball/baseball, the spring seasons are gearing up for competition, and our Lady Pirates are ready to be back in action. These girls are coming off a winning 2025 season with a record of 16-9. The roster for the team consists of: (Seniors) Olivia Bragg, Morgan Muncy, Bailey Morris, Jenna King; (Juniors) Angel Cottrill, Alexis Hurd, Savannah Powell, Renee Sutliff, Miranda Timko, Neena Truex; (Sophomores) Natalie Campbell, Lily Hayes, Kylee Holcomb, Lylia Lavigna, Leah Mesaros, Bella Mowery, Angelina Pellegrini, Aubrey Petrilla, Anastasia Sutliff; (Freshman) Zoie Brooks, Kirsten Harvey, Lauren Metzgar, Elliana Powell, Evie Sherry, Addi Shinsky, Hanna Wheeler, and Skyla Zeigler; (Coaches) Erin Muncy, Ashley Callahan, and Heather Lindsey.

Southeast will have strong leadership this season with four returning seniors and six juniors. First team all-Ohio senior Morgan Muncy shared the following about the upcoming season, “My goals for this season are to win the league and win a few tournament games. We just want to compete in every game and keep high energy.” She feels that this can be accomplished when the “…team has good chemistry, to go along with pitching and defense.” The two teams that she’s excited to play this year are Champion and Labrae due to the tough competition. The girls’ play tonight at Rootstown at 5:15. Wishing them an awesome season. Go Pirates!

ABOUT US

The Pirate Post started out as a club in the spring of 2025. This year, it officially became a Journalism and Communications Class, run by students, that is open to anyone! The process to make this an elective, however, was no easy feat. Student Izzy Goodnite (who proposed that we create a school newspaper) wrote a proposal for the school board, and they agreed to make it a class. We aim to inform the student body about things that are new at Southeast: sports, school plays, field trips, and seasonal news. We cover it all! “I feel this newspaper isn’t just about information though, it is also about learning and recognizing people who deserve it,” states Goodnite. If you enjoy writing, Newspaper is the class for you! If you have any article ideas or any questions, you can email our advisor, Julia Dillon: jdillon@sepirates.org or fill out the form at the bottom of our website.
