“Payton and Olivia are excellent all around athletes. They hustle and give 100 percent all of the time,” said coach Suzanne Feimster. “These girls have worked extremely hard and their dedication has paid off. I am so proud of them and will be expecting great things from them as they pursue the sport they love at Central Baptist.”
