The Pierce County Bears softball team is once again in the playoffs. The Lady Bears are back-to-back region champs and are deep into the playoffs once again. Led by coach Robbie Spires, the talented Lady Bears varsity squad is 19-9 overall and 8-2 in the region. The Lady Bears’ offense is high flying this year, leading the region in scoring. The Lady Bears’ defense is also doing well this year, giving up the least amount of runs versus region foes. Because of the success offensively and defensively, the Lady Bears are on a 7-game winning streak.
The Lady Bears are one of the more impressive teams in high school softball. Somewhat of an attention-grabber is that the Lady Bears are prepared for the future as the team is loaded with talent and projected to do well for a long period of time. The Lady Bears owe their success to Spires, who is well respected by everyone in Pierce County High School, including assistant coach Erica Grady (aka “Coach E”), who had this to say about Coach Spires: “This is my third year with Coach Spires, and every day she teaches me something new as a coach and as a teacher. Any success we had this year is due to her.”
The Lady Bears are in Region 2-AAA with opponents Brantley County, Liberty County, Tattnall County, and Appling County. With the year almost over, we can tell how good the Lady Bears really are this season, and Pierce County can look forward to next year as well.
