Softball Team Pays Tribute To Teammate (video)

Before the Panther softball team took the field for the first time last Thursday, they took a few minutes to remember and honor their teammate Alex Cannavo who was killed in a traffic accident last January.

Cannavo played muliple positions for the Panthers during her time on the team, but more than anything,”She showed up to practice everyday with a mindset to try her hardest and give it her all,” said head coach Kerri Tenboer.

The Panthers, along with their opponent, Fulton, stood on the baselines and the Panther baseball team assembled in the outfield grass to pay tribute to Cannavo.

Senior Corrie Remley threw out a ceremonial first pitch to Alex’s brother Shawn, which was followed by a moment of silence and a balloon release.
