Congratulations Lesley Pipher – Southern Wesleyan University’s Softball Ace

Championship Circle Newsflash:

I am so pleased to Congratulate my personal friend, Lesley Pipher, for attaining a joint athletic-academic scholarship to Southern Wesleyan University’s Softball Team in South Carolina!

What a well-deserved scholarship, and let me tell you, how lucky Southern Wesleyan University is to have her as their Ace Pitcher!!!

Lesley was one of my opponents in softball for many years, and boy oh boy, was she an awesome pitcher! She always gave our teams a run for our money!!!

One year, Lesley, her catcher, her soon-to-be husband, and one of her old coaches put together a fabulous collection of players for a Junior team in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. This “1st year” team won the Bronze medal in the Canadian Nationals! Probably some of thee best coaches I have ever had…This was back in 1996!

Lesley was always so very supportive of us girls that were away or going away on scholarship to the United States for softball! So, I feel so privileged to be able to cheer her on in this new dream of hers to play University Softball and work on a Teaching Degree, which she will, no doubt, be amazingly successful in doing! I am positive that she misses her husband and 2 children terribly…I know she will overcome because Lesley is such a strong individual and a firm goal setter!

Lesley, from me, my family and no doubt all of our old team members:

We are so Proud of You and are Cheering You on the Entire Way!!!

You are an Inspiration, as always…You Rock!
