The announcement came over the intercom during my P.E. class. “Any jr. high girl who tried out for softball needs to see Coach Cooper.” I was excited, nervous and scared all at the same time. I only tried out for fun. I didn't know anything about softball at the time. It was the first week of my 7th grade year. I realized that i haven't really done any sports besides cheer.
