The Lancers will face Olathe Northwest in what was supposed to be their last home double-header Tuesday, May 8. The rained out Olathe East game has now been re-scheduled for Wednesday, May 9. Regardless, the seniors will be honored in between the Olathe Northwest games. This is the senior class that has put Lancer softball back on the "map" so to speak in the Sunflower League. Prior to their freshman year, the Lancers had won just one game in the previous two seasons. Since that time the Lancers have made it to the sub-state championship game twice and posted a 14-8 w/l record the last two seasons. They are off to the best start in Lancer softball history at 10-0. Come out to the park and honor these ladies for what they have done for the sport of softball and Shawnee Mission East.
