Last spring Barker earned a share of the Niagara-Orleans League softball championship. Now, with the lineup returning virtually intact, Barker is again taking aim at earning top N-O honors.

Barker shared the N-O crown with Roy-Hart at 10-2 last spring.

The Lady Bulldogs large veteran contingent includes seniors Kaylee Stoll (infield), Peyton Bradley (pitcher/infield), Madelina Pavlock (infield) and Sophia Gerhardt (outfield) along with junior Fallyn Mescall (infield), sophomores Elise Monaco (utility), Lexi Brazzell (catcher), Madyson Flint (pitcher/infield), Lilly Reyes (utility) and freshman Aine Davis (outfield).

Flint, Bradley and Stoll were all first team N-O All-League honorees while Pavlock and Brazzell were second team selections and Monaco an Honorable Mention selection.

“We bring back a large group of experienced player and are excited about the season ahead. We are looking forward to challenging for another league title,” said Coaches Aileen Gilbert and Bill Moeller.

Barker is scheduled to tune up for the March 30 N-O home opener against Medina by hosting Kendall on March 24 and visiting Lockport on March 27.
