Lady Eagles ranked No. 1 in Class 1
Coaches in any sport will say theres no better way to get a target on your back than by being considered the best, and if that is the case, no bigger target can be painted on the back of the Purdy softball team.
The Lady Eagles (17-1) last week were named the No. 1-ranked team in Class 1, and there are any number of scores and stats over 18 games that give credence to the claim.
