Over the weekend, the Geary High School varsity fast-pitch softball team held a car wash fundraiser under first-year Lady Bison head coach Rick Scott.
Coach Scott said he was very happy with the turnout and success of the fundraiser held on Saturday at R&V Car Wash in Geary, which was aimed towards raising money to help with the costs of keeping Lady Bison players safe while attempting to build a great softball program.
Geary hopes to provide every player with their own helmet during the 2020 fast-pitch regular season in hopes of keeping the student-athletes better protected from COVID-19.
Next week, the Lady Bison varsity squad will continue its preseason summer scrimmages during the two-day Watonga Festival softball tournament held on July 30-31 at Watonga High School.
