Before their thrilling 9-8 extra inning walk-off victory over the visiting Patrick Henry Lady Patriots on Monday night, the Swanton Lady Bulldogs Softball Team held their Senior Night to pay tribute and thank four senior players for their contributions to the program.  All four players, Alexa Faber, Kendall Glonek, Carli LaGrange and Jordyn Ramirez, were significant factors and the core of Swanton High School’s most successful softball season in its history. And, after who knows how many Lady Bulldog seniors over all the years took that same walk, these four will be the last to do it on the field, “up on the hill” at Memorial Park. An new era is soon to begin.

Retired Swanton educator, Betty Jo Sadowski, introduced each senior and read a short bio:
