Carter Earns 3rd Team Lake Erie League
Amariah Carter took on a big responsibility this season for the Lady Bearcat softball program. The sophomore (now junior) carried the pitching staff for Coach Browning’s 2023-24 campaign, and there were definitely some bright spots. Carter’s performances from the mound were instrumental in helping to guide B.H.S. to multiple wins. She even helped out at the plate going 3-4 in a game against Lorain. Amariah is one of four Lady Bearcats to make the all-league team this season, and the best part is that all four girls will be back for the 2024-25 season. #riseofthebearcats (Photo credit to Matt Allen)
