PRAIRIE BASSE - In a four-year high school career filled with a wide range of accomplishments, Beau Chene pitcher Lynee Lalonde is most proud of:
A) 72 career victories
B)Three perfect games
C)Making the playoffs
D)Parish championship
E)None of the above
If you selected "none of the above," you were correct.
Lalonde's latest feat was a perfect game in an 11-0 victory over St. Martinville last Thursday. The Lady Gator ace struck out 12 Lady Tigers en route to her 15th win of the season.
Some might consider it unfathomable, but Lalonde says building on those softball accomplishments isn't her top priority in life. In fact, it is not even close.
"I really love softball, but I'd rather just come out here and have fun," Lalonde said. "I love to compete, that's one of my favorite things to do because I'm very competitive, and I think that's why I love it so much."
