The Notre Dame softball team had its best season in program history, setting a school record for wins (29) while finishing Class 3 runner-up in the program's second ever trip to the state final four.
The Bulldogs were honored for their accomplishments with three first-team members on the Missouri Softball Coaches Association all-state team. Junior first basemen Kristain Burger was recognized for the second straight season, while junior pitcher Beth Schnurbusch and freshman outfielder Erika Reinagel both were honored for the first time.
"I'm tickled to death to get three on the first team," Notre Dame coach Jeff Graviett said.
Reinagel, Schnurbusch, Kristain Burger, Paris Burger and Bailey Reutzel were also named all-region. Earning all-district honors were Reinagel, Schnurbusch, Kristain Burger, Paris Burger, Reutzel, Miranda Schlosser, Cortney Ostendorf and Heather Menz.
"I thought we were a little underappreciated last year, but this year I thought we got the respect we deserved," Graviett said.
